No wonder so many sickos gravitate toward the church, free spending its reputation with little punishment until they get caught….by those who see the light. It’s quite funny that most angels in medieval oil paintings resemble five-year-old androgynous boys/girls, no? RCC hates puberty and by inference “mature” sex.

So they quit. The Mormons continue as an adoption agency, continue to discriminate against same sex homes, and do it with their own money - no public tax money. The Catholics wanted to discriminate against te gays and lesbians and wanted us to pay for that discrimination with our own taxes! We don't mind the Mormons ... they are willing to pay for their own hatreds ... fine by me in the USA. Sounds like you are more radical in the UK.

If you do not subscribe to the prevailing orthodoxy you might as well be living in the Soviet Union.” So, the pendulum has swung from the stranglehold the church has held on all matters secular since the 3d century. 'Til now, you toed the line of the Catholic Church's prevailing orthodoxy. And, you might as well have been living under the Taliban. The irony is delicious. Most Catholics don't have anything to do with pedophilia. But, it's still child abuse to brainwash impressionable underaged children to the Catholic Orthodoxy so that, even when of discerning age, they're already too infused with the stain of original sin and all the other learned, self destructive, institutionalized codependence traits to escape a stigma indelibly impressed on their most basic biological functions. Systematic immersion in mystical cultism results, even if the person escapes the organization later in life, in otherwise unexplainable depression, guilt for realizing that the brainwashing was all just a bunch of hooey and a host of further emotional and psychological insults to wellbeing. Under no circumstances should children be exposed to mystical explainations of the way things are. If religion is so universally wonderful, persons old enough to achieve critical thinking will necessarily gravitate to it. no? America has the right idea in the separation of church and state, at least. "Ann Widdecombe…described the Sexual Orientation Regulations as “ludicrous…a sign of the Britain we are in.

When we look at the endemic abuse of children in the Catholic Church (by people ranging from the lowest care workers right up to Catholic priests & leaders) over the past 50 years alone they have proved themselves hypocritical and unfit to be involved in the care of children. The Vatican said it's "gravely immoral" to place children with same sex couples!? I think it's "gravely immoral" to place children with the Catholic Church, given their history. THEY are the last people in the world who should be consulted about children's rights after the horrors they are responsible for, the horrors they covered up and the horrors they allowed to continue for decades. Good riddance. Good riddance.

I would say it was much more immoral to deny children loving homes in order to satisfy a personal bigotry.
