Aah. So in the UK, right, the CC is refusing to allow homosexual couples to adopt children from its Catholic Adoption services. Apparently, Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor is refusing to back down on this, and the catholic adoption services are willing to shut down and leave children homeless, rather than let gays adopt.
Ruth Kelly (a Catholic) was pretty much upstaged by Tony Blair on this, who effectively cut off her political legs and decided he was gonna be the one to deal with this. xD
I read an
article from the perspective of a gay anglican priest (Anglican? Priest? am I missing something here, I thought they were Vicars, but ok
) who had previously fostered a boy with disabilities, and he wanted to adopt a child from a catholic agency, and was refused.
