Very well. I’ve not called you names, assigned motive to you, or even claimed that you were wrong.

I have no respect for you and would hope that you will not ever address anything I have to say from this moment forward. Should you wish to engage in a conversation in the future my hope is that you will answer direct questions directly.

Try addressing another of the other unanswered questions I asked you

as we’ve seen you wouldn’t even be able to comprehend the answers…it would truly be casting pearls before swine…

I stand by the Catholic Charities website and believe that they still perfom adoption services. OK, you can choose to call them liars. I do not.

I call you a lying idiot!! BWAHAHAAHHAH

what a moron!!

you must be in a great deal of pain, such stupidity has to hurt!!

Your words, not mine

. . . page is an overall listing of what they do . .

What they do. What they do? WHAT THEY DO???

Boston’s Catholic Charities to stop adoption service over same-sex law
By Father Robert J. Carr

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

BOSTON, Mass. (Catholic Online) – Catholic Charities in Boston announced March 10 that it is getting out of the adoption business, over Massachusetts state law requiring that that the agency place children with same-sex couples.

The recent decision by Catholic Charities of the Boston Archdiocese to stop offering adoption services to avoid placing children with homosexuals is reverberating through child welfare circles and sparking fears that other Catholic Charities agencies may follow suit.

that was from the washington times…but those sites are just OUT TO GET YOU!!! they’re part of the VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!!! and they’re listening to your thoughts…at least when you don’t wear your tin-foil

Don’t take me to task, take the Catholic Charities to task for saying they still do adoptions

your page is an overall listing of what they do…there is also a link to state agencies…the information is very sparse…you could have done a google on whether they do adoptions in MA

Go ahead and explain why the Catholics Charity website still says they do adoptions? Do you have an a nswer for that?

again you prove yourself to be amazingly stupid…you do know they have agencies in many states, not just MA??? right??? you do know that???

They will however continue to do adoptions. Adoptions supported by private funding. Again, look at their website.

are you masochistic? do you enjoy making a fool out of yourself…you’re good for a few laughs..but this is getting pathetic…

Besides, opinion pieces are just that, opinion pieces.

what does it take? a voice from God or something??? you’re an idiot. seriously, laughably, pathetically stupid.

you do realize the ‘globe staff’ is referring to the boston globe??

and you do realize that ‘opinion piece’ said:

From there, it was only a short step to the headline “State Putting Church Out of Adoption Business,” which ran over an opinion piece in the Boston Globe by John Garvey, dean of Boston College Law School.

keep posting, I need a few more laughs..moron.

Don’t take me to task, take the Catholic Charities to task for saying they still do adoptions. Did you even check out their website? Are they lying about doing adoptions? Did you notice it was the Catholic Charities of Massachusettes website?

Go ahead and explain why the Catholics Charity website still says they do adoptions? Do you have an a nswer for that?

Absolutely. Catholic Charities is not changing it’s convictions and Religious liberties. They will not place children with Gays. I am citing your own sources.

Do you understand that?

It is about tax support and being a Government contrator. Catholic Charities has given up its’ role as a Government contractor and accepting Government money. True, or not true?

They will however continue to do adoptions. Adoptions supported by private funding. Again, look at their website.

Why are you unwilling to accept what Catholic Charities says of themselves?

Cite all the opinion pieces from 2006, all you want, but realize this is 2009, and accept the Catholic Charities’ position is that they still do adoptions, at least, according to their current website. Are they lying? Besides, opinion pieces are just that, opinion pieces.

Let me help you. I will do it for you, because you are either unwilling, or unable to answer simple questions. -

Does Catholic Charities still perform adpotions?

Yes. With Private funding, according to their website.

Have the convictions or Religious liberties of Catholics Charities changed?

No. Catholic Charities will not place children with Gays.

Will Catholic Charities place children with Gays using private funding?

No. Because it would violate their convictions and Religious liberties.

And, while you are it, try responding to some of the previous questions, from Posts #110 thru #121.

I PUT THE QUESTION to Anthony Picarello, president and general counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. The Becket Fund is widely recognized as one of the best religious liberty law firms and the only one that defends the religious liberty of all faith groups, “from Anglicans to Zoroastrians,” as its founder Kevin J.
Hasson likes to say (referring to actual clients the Becket Fund has defended).

Just how serious are the coming conflicts over religious liberty stemming from gay marriage?

“The impact will be severe and pervasive,” Picarello says flatly. “This is going to affect every aspect of church-state relations.” Recent years, he predicts, will be looked back on as a time of relative peace between church and state, one where people had the luxury of litigating cases about things like the Ten Commandments in courthouses. In times of relative peace, says Picarello, people don’t even notice that “the church is surrounded on all sides by the state; that church and state butt up against each other. The boundaries are usually peaceful, so it’s easy sometimes to forget they are there. But because marriage affects just about every area of the law, gay marriage is going to create a point of conflict at every point around the perimeter.”

For scholars, these will be interesting times: Want to know exactly where the borders of church and state are located? “Wait a few years,” Picarello laughs. The flood of litigation surrounding each point of contact will map out the territory. For religious liberty lawyers, there are boom times ahead. As one Becket Fund donor told Picarello ruefully, “At least you know you’re not in the buggy whip business.”

The coming conflict between same-sex marriage and religious liberty.

CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF BOSTON made the announcement on March 10: It was getting out of the adoption business. “We have encountered a dilemma we cannot resolve. . . . The issue is adoption to same-sex couples.”

It was shocking news. Catholic Charities of Boston, one of the nation’s oldest adoption agencies, had long specialized in finding good homes for hard to place kids. “Catholic Charities was always at the top of the list,” Paula Wisnewski, director of adoption for the Home for Little Wanderers, told the Boston Globe. “It’s a shame because it is certainly going to mean that fewer children from foster care are going to find permanent homes.” Marylou Sudders, president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said simply, “This is a tragedy for kids.”

From there, it was only a short step to the headline “State Putting Church Out of Adoption Business,” which ran over an opinion piece in the Boston Globe by John Garvey, dean of Boston College Law School. It’s worth underscoring that Catholic Charities’ problem with the state didn’t hinge on its receipt of public money. Ron Madnick, president of the Massachusetts chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, agreed with Garvey’s assessment: “Even if Catholic Charities ceased receiving tax support and gave up its role as a state contractor, it still could not refuse to place children with same-sex couples.”
