Cathlic Church and adoption in San Francisco

In one of the most startling attacks on the Catholic Church coming from a governmental body in the United States in half a century, the governing body of the city of San Francisco - the Board of Supervisors - voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a non-binding resolution blasting the Catholic Church for its opposition to homosexual adoption.

If you clean an elderly woman's yard out of a sense of charity and she starts making conditions on how you do it, it's perfectly reasonable to reply "If you tell me how to do it, I will simply stop." That's all the Catholic Church is doing here. They provide a service regarding facilitating adoptions. Now they are being told they have to go against their own religion and consider homosexual couples to be just as good parents as married hetersexual couples. So the Vatican is picking up its marbles and going home. Glad to see them grow a spine.
