I never did understand why the Catholic Church declares it acceptable for homosexuals to be priests, bishops, etc., but not parents...
I disagree with them but their logical consistency is that an abstinent homosexual is as moral as an abstinent heterosexual. Chastity demands abstinence outside of marriage. Celibacy just demands abstinence completely. Depending on the vows you swear. As long as you follow them gay and straight people are supposed to be considered equal in their morality.
Children require marriage and marriage is mom and dad, etc. So no gay parenting. On the face it's consistent
when it is applied to Catholics.
Because when quiddity nee victor says that it is about a "lifestyle" or ongoing sin, he's not really being accurate that it is different than any other sin. Catholic Charities cannot legally hold everyone to their standard and ethically it's highly questionable to die on this particular rock when they adopt to people of all religions without doing a sin-check on them. It's not their job to avoid sinners it's their job to adopt out children to legally qualified individuals.
Personally i think like abortion this is being done as a publicity /single-issue 'thing' just as the bishops who tell people they should be single issue voting is dumb and closeminded.
They hoped they'd win by dying on this rock, and now that thy've lost they don't know what to do about it other than complain. Sorry this is how state contracts work. I'm sorry for any workers that lose their jobs due to it though, it's not their fault.
