The current American government certainly is happy to sideline any private charity. As long as the private charity operates independently, the government is hard pressed to control the agenda.
I use the Catholic encyclopedia who has the written letters from the time the Bible was being discerned - and not hypothesis such as the links you provided.
And yet, the longitudinal studies conducted by dedicated researchers diagree with your ad hoc off the cuff claim.
Do Catholic agencies place children with non Catholic parents? Are they required to? I honestly don't know, but AFAI can see, if a Catholic agency currently places children with any variety of non-Catholic parents, the "but gay couples won'y provide a Catholic environment!" argument loses a lot of it's credibility.
Exactly.
Solve the problem first, before putting children into the problem.
Precisely. And putting Gay couples in front of Hetro Saxual couples is also the polar opposite of "put the child first".
This adequately describes our current political landscape. Agenda driven politics have turned our government into an almost hopeless morass of mud slinging and power grabbing. To quote a dear friend: "The current political parties are two sides of the same, worthless, wooden nickel."...to claim to stand for freedom and equality, and then when you finally get the rights you fought so hard for, you turn right around and persecute others for their opinions and beliefs. The same political activists who were being spit at are now spitting on others (literally).
This is what partisan politics has done to our country, there is no middle ground, there is no room for moderate or rational views. America is a war zone between two dangerous ideologies, both claim to represent freedom, but neither really does.
Shame.
At one time when they operated adoption agencies - their requirement was 'parents' a mom and dad.
What if - say every child - refuses to live with SSM couples?
Yes He was there for sinners - did miracles for them and then told them to sin no more.
It is a rare person here who demeans SSA individuals when the argument is being made for the traditional Christian and Catholic positions on SSM and/or sexual sin.
Of course not. People call them unnatural, post false information about them, claim they're trying to "destroy marriage/family/America/Christianity" fixate on the distaste they feel for male-male anal sex, and accuse them of being paedophiles, advocate imprisoning and/or psychotherapy to change them, but no one demeans them.
