That comment seems a bit off-topic -- unless your partner is a bishop.

Well the four Catholic bishops of Massachusetts will probably never 'see the light'of the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church, my church I am sad to say, has just lost it's way and no longer can follow the path set forth by the true Christ. The Church follows the path of Bush who claims to be the 'chosen one' but he is most definitely not the Christ,he is quite possibly the antichrist.
The church heirarchy (Pope John Paul II) aligned itself with the Repubs during the Reagan administration and remains closely aligned with the Repubs ever since. The church hierarchy is extremely fundamentalist and constantly pushes for the merging of church and state. I believe this merging will be disastrous for both the church and our american democracy, as evidenced by the catholics on the Supreme Court who are also very fundamentalist in their thinking.
The Catholic church is so opposed to gays that it cannot place the needs of unadopted children before it's own narrow agenda. It seems strange that the church is so opposed to gay people yet it has, for centuries, hidden the acts of pedophile priests. What a strange incongruence in thinking by the church hierarchy.

This reinforces my feeling that the prophecy of St. Malachy,regarding the last pope of the church may be nigh.

I support this websites pursuit of justice, but, in defense of the bishops, they are standing by their principles. Those who see same sex partners as an unnnatural social unit which would promote the arrangement as natural- a lie- must stand against the propagation of such arrangements. They want to see children raised right. Vilify them and me if you must, but thats the Traditional understanding, which must resist political correctness for the sake of the children.

Romney said, according to the report, "It’s a sad day for neglected and abandoned children. It's a mistake for our laws to put the rights of adults over the needs of children." Looks like the Catholic bishops are not in the wrong at all. It's the fault of human rights findings by the Court that violate true religion. Or so we must infer that Romney believes, if he believes anything.

They want to see children raised right. ... which must resist political correctness for the sake of the children

Could your (and their) thinking get any narrower? Because you want to see them 'raised right', you would deny adoption to nearly 700 children; merely because fewer than 2% or them might be placed in households whose make-up bothers you. And you have the gall to claim that this is 'for the sake of the children'.

I was adopted. I would not want to have been placed in such a home. Surely some broader group will take up this cause, in place of the Roman Catholic Church. And so you will have your brave new world. But will such a society stand the test of time? We reap what we sow.
