What about the kids?

I am livid about a lot of things in the public eye these days. But in the forefront are Mitt and the Catholic Church. I have blogged in my own blog about my intolerance for both the Governor and the Church as both have affected the day to day lives of people here in Ma.

They have gone a step further recently.
The Catholic Church has decided to take a stand and throw the baby out with the bath water. They refuse to help babies get adopted because STATE LAW requires that they not discriminate based on sexual origination- i.e. they don’t want to place an unwanted baby that could’ve been prevented with birth control to go to a loving parent who is gay. Not wanting this poor baby to go to someone who might LOVE them but teach them the evils of ‘loving thy fellow man’ a bit too much, they have decided to get out of the adoption game.
Mitt feels that it’s NOT the government job to tell religions how to act, nor is it really the government’s job to look after these orphans after the government bans ‘the morning after pill’. So Mitt has decided that the best course of action is to change the law so that the Holy C can indeed make sure that the poor poor babies are not going to GAY homes.

Ok, to review. This is the SAME Catholic Church that promoted Cardinal Law when it was found out that he was COVERING UP for pedophile priests.

The Church has decided it’s above AMERICAN law on numerous occasions, and Mitt is an enabler. Rather then say that the Catholic Church MUST respect the law of the land, because we separate Church and State so that they are both equal; Mitt is saying that BECAUSE we have a separation of Church and State, we can not force the CHURCH to follow STATE laws.
You know what, if the Church wants to tell you that Kerry is not a good candidate because he’s a baby killer (pro life), that they are allowed to ‘protect their own’ before their flock( protecting the pedophile priests but not the kids), then they’ve broken the bonds between Church and State before the State.

I should end by quoting from this story which mentions that the Catholic Church, as usual, is going against the will of IT’S OWN people.

The bishops’ request was in stark contrast to the wishes of the agency itself, which voted unanimously in December to uphold the practice of placing children in homosexual homes.
