Catholic agencies close down over new ruling on gay adoption"Five Roman Catholic adoption agencies have closed since laws came into force requiring them to recruit gay couples, making it harder for some of the most vulnerable children to be found a home.
"Eight other agencies have risked their financial future by severing links with the Catholic Church, in most cases the major source of donations, in order to carry on their work and comply with the new law..."
The Times.
So if the first five really care about adoption why didn't they just cut their links with their bigoted church, too?
The last line of this piece is instructive;
"Among those to have closed their doors to adoption is the Westminster Catholic Children’s Society, which now refers prospective adopters elsewhere."
D'oh!
