Bad argument: Because rotten priests played with boys, homosexual men should adopt

The bishops of Massachusetts's four archdioceses have announced their plan to seek an exemption for Catholic Charities from the state rule (in .pdf form) forbidding licensed adoption agencies from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. As you might have guessed, Vatican policy states that adoption or foster care by gay couples "must be strongly rejected."

In the mean time, it might be wise for the Church to avoid getting into too close a reading of the adoption licensing regulations: In addition to requiring non-discrimination, the rules prevent giving a license to any organization that has "engaged in any . . . conduct, criminal or otherwise, [that impairs] the applicant's or licensee's ability to care for children." Now, Bostonist doesn't want to cast aspersions on the innumerable good works the Catholic Church has done, but their record's a little spotty on reporting child sexual abuse by employees.

The poor Bishops have quite a job on their hands trying to be the Catholic
voice in liberal Mass.

After all, "Catholic Charities has already placed 13 children with gay couples". 13 kids with parents who define themselves by their sex acts.

You would think those homosexual priests, unable to fight their attraction
for young boys, would be a good lesson to us all.
