Catholic Charity Ends Adoptions Rather Than Place Kid With Same-Sex Couple

It's a lot worse to be an orphan, and research has shown kids with same sex parents do just fine, but leave it true xtians to pervert everything for jebus....and clearly while abortions can't happen, it's OK to mistreat kids like this once they're born...

A Catholic charity in upstate New York is terminating their long-running foster and adoptive services to avoid granting an adoptive foster-care license to a same-sex married couple.
The Catholic Charity of Buffalo announced Thursday they are “phasing out” their century-old adoption program instead of approving the couple, claiming they cannot simultaneously comply with state regulations and conform to church doctrine.
“We were in conflict,” Rose Caldwell, the charity’s director of communication and public relations, told The Daily Beast. “We could not discriminate against the couple but we also had to uphold church laws.”
New York state law requires contracting organizations—like a charity—to allow same-sex couples to adopt or to raise foster children. That law, however, goes against the Roman Catholic Church’s official position that marriage is a union only between a woman and a man.
And while Pope Francis has publicly accepted the LGBT community multiple times, the charity argues that teaching does not extend to adoption.
“Marriage is only between man and a woman and it is to the advantage of the child to have both a father and a mother,” said Sister Mary McCarrick, diocesan director of the charity, in a press conference Wednesday

Well, that's good. If your business can't operate in a legal and moral manner, your business shouldn't operate. It's nice to see them having the integrity to shut down rather than try and skirt the law for immoral purposes.

I'm sure there are plenty of atheist (non stamp collector) charities that will step in and fill the need. Either that or the tax payers.

Can you forward that memo to the trump and kushner families as a start?
