Throwing Catholic charities under the bus

[rug]

The Supreme Court isn't getting involved just yet, but if same-sex marriage becomes a constitutional right, then Catholic child welfare agencies go out of business. It's already happened in California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.

To collect state funds, agencies had to convert to secular status. The forced conversions saved some agencies, but closed others that were never replaced. The bottom line: Children suffer.

Two issues here: one legal, one theological.

The legal argument is in the public square. There is really no argument against a civil union or civil marriage between those individuals the state deems fit. This is, after all, the United States of America.

1. Basically, Phyllis is whining that since the state won't let Catholic Charities

Discriminate against gay couples when it comes to adoption, the state won't pay Catholic Charities for adoption services.

Of course, the state is under no obligation to pay Catholic Charities anything.
