Seven good Catholics Stand up to Bishop

C.E. Dorsett

To be upfront and honest with you, this is why I left the Catholic Church. My beliefs remain Catholic even though the church has gone batty. Just wanted to reveal my bias up front.

Seven members of the board of Catholic Charities of Boston resigned Wednesday to protest bishops' effort to prohibit same-sex couples from adopting from Catholic social service agencies.

We “cannot participate in an effort to pursue legal permission to discriminate against Massachusetts citizens who want to play their part in building strong families,” the seven members said in a written statement (Gay.com).

How can the Church actively work to stop LGBT people from adopting? What legal or ethical grounds could they possibly have? I am going to hold my tongue on this and go say a Rosary for this Bishop and the errant church. I salute these seven board members, they are truly on the side of the angels.
