More Christian bigotry!
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor has defended Catholic adoption agencies that discriminate against same-sex couples.
The former head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales said the Equality Act had “unnecessarily” forced many of the agencies to close in recent years.
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor wrote: “Because of our conviction that children are better placed in a home with a man and a woman, a father and mother, the agencies were unable to offer a service to same-sex couples.
“It would in fact have been a sensible and proportionate accommodation, recognising that religious organisations have a distinct identity and ethos that very often brings a valuable contribution to the wider common good of society.”
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor also spoke of how he unsuccessfully urged the then Prime Minister Tony Blair to provide an opt-out in the Equality Act, allowing for the agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples.
“In spite of the fact that I, as Archbishop of Westminster then, appealed to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet for an exemption from this law, it was not forthcoming and the result has been a sad loss for the Church and society.”
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor added: “How extraordinary that a law, in the name of tolerance, should become so intolerant to a charity that aims only to do good and foster the most vulnerable children.”
He concluded: “We do indeed need in our pluralist society to strike a much fairer balance which recognises the importance of religion and belief and allows a more open and mature accommodation of differences while ensuring that the law protects everyone equally and prevents harm.”
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor also expressed support for The Telegraph’s editorial praising Baroness Hale, the UK’s most senior female judge.
She suggested last week that Christians who oppose serving gay couples need to have more “religious freedom”.
Baroness Hale was one of the five Supreme Court justices to reject the appeal of Christian B&B owners Peter and Hazelmary Bull, who lost a long-running court dispute after refusing to serve gay couple Martin Hall and Steven Preddy.
In a speech she said “the pendulum has swung too far one way”.

Well you can't change the statute books of both Britain and the EU as a whole.
Why not try to change them and see how far you get.

Re: More Christian bigotry!
predictably not a word of concern from the forum gay bigot about the kids that will be affected by these closures of the adoption agencies concerned.
but they dont matter to the militant gay, they are mere "collateral damage"...they would sooner see them homeless than adopted in the furtherance of their bigoted adgenda.
there is not really that much difference between phil and some of AQ's best....socially destructive extremists..

Re: More Christian bigotry!
I have no problem with this Letting Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor have his way is no different than allowing Sharia law. And it creates a precedent allowing for Mosques to Legal exert the religious ethos on their followers too.
Completely disagree with that quote
If they Can't keep their Bigoted Outdated and ILLEGAL Ethos to themselves then they have no place in perform a Public Duty in a Modern Secular society. If needed remove tax free status and fund the secular alternative. it will be better more efficient and really too many of these religious Adoption agencies have been fronts for paedophile rings.. Religions should be banned from operating them in any capacity.

Re: More Christian bigotry!
ah well now we see sense, however removing the tax free status would be difficult since they operate as charities...
and even if you did so having a secular "replacement" would be, as these things tend to be, far more costly than what would be recovered in taxes...
and given the record of secular "childrens homes" in the abuse stakes, probably no improvement there either.....
I cant say as I have an answer here....I was merely pointing out that phil would impose these rules and close them with NO thought as to the fate of the kids they serve....thought for others does not enter the equation....

Unfortunately, Philagain, what usually happens when the majority are ignored for a continued period is they get violent and everything is flipped back the way it was before, but it's a really nasty mess.

Re: More Christian bigotry!
If the Catholic Church doesn't want to run adoption agencies any more, that's entirely up to them. I don't see why they should change their own principles.

Rags, I entirely agree. This has been flagged for years. Ignored for years so as not to upset the relative few of the gay community that demand equal rights for them and fail to recognise the consequences.
This is not gay bashing but supporting the rights of the Catholic Church.
The children are the victims here not the gay activists.

The OP is talking about the Catholic Church wanting an exemption, and there's no harm in them asking for that.
I understand why they are not exempt, but they have been criticised for closing agencies down. I think though that people have no business criticising them for that. I don't think that the Church should have to "move with the times" if they can't agree to those new rules.

Re: More Christian bigotry!
What is sad is that any adoption agency would rather see a child left without any parents at all than to put them in the care of a loving gay couple. That says alot about the warped mentality of SOME religious groups.
^Vic I also have to echo Ben and Veya's thoughts (though I wouldn't swear haha), we cannot just isolate Britain as though we are a special case in the whole world on the matter, we aren't.

It's not warped, it just against their beliefs. One could say that these children are not adopted because the Government will not bend to accommodate different beliefs, so there's no point blaming one side or the other. Besides, there are other adoption agencies that people can go to.

My point about "not giving a toss" is in relation to both didge and veya's trick of looking at the american condition/experience/situation and considering it to be representative of ours.
for instance veya looked at google and came up with 2 american refernces and used that to back his point about secular childrens homes being better in the abuse stakes than church run ones, making a straw man to avoid the point that HERE (NOT AMERICA) they have no better record in that matter....
More over the OP is talking about the catholic church HERE...NOT in america ....... the two are different fish, having the same disease admittedly, but still very different....
dare I say it more of the lefty nonsense showing through....
follow these kinds of arguments and we end up with a "one size fits all" world....with NO room for regional let alone national identity or culture....
moreover its no wonder the world is currently fooked....if that how the politicos think no wonder us and the yanks are constantly at war....
I have a small hint.......one size does NOT fit all......

What trick, that is an absurd observation , when both countries have similar cultures, plus the fact we are indeed one biological race are we not Victor.
What you are trying to claim has no logic or any science behind it and the debate is about secular places, the only difference between a nation may be in its culture but little else when we we similar belief systems, so basically you are as per usual try to claim something that just does not make any sense.
You are also obsessed with political leanings whilst at the same time not having the first clue what they are, you just associate anyone left of you as left wing, failing to recognize you share some left wing views yourself and some far right ones at that

you miss the point and as ever introduce irrelevent arguments....
Veya was using the american situation to intimate that secular childrens homes do not have the abuse problems that church run ones do....
NOW...the MAY be true in america.....It is NOT true in britain.....
ergo such a comparison is a straw man.... ONE size does NOT fit all.
the catholic church in america is NOT quite the same fish as the catholic church here....
and so on...
I may as well argue that we should import american values such as their gun culture since we are the same...which is rubbish (actually they should import our gun laws, but hey ho).

The Catholic Church in America is very similar to the Catholic Church here, how you then equate a gun culture is again utterly absurd using this by detracting fro the Churches.
Both cultures share many similar traits, the only difference being more Christians in America take a literal belief of God over there than they do here.
So again there is little behind your though processing here

Re: More Christian bigotry!
Sorry that again is pure balderdash, both the cultures are very similar and again the Catholic church in each country is headed up by the Catholic Church in the Vatican, run by the Catholic Church in the Vatican, thus them being all the same, no matter which country, as they all take their orders from the Vatican.
Again you are arguing along a racial argument, as if there is something unique to British people compare to Americans, which would be even more absurd, when a huge amount of them descend from the British Isles.

Did I claim that or did you?
My point is on your illogical view points
I am sure abuse exists in many areas, not matter whether religious, because people who abuse will try to gain an areas where they can. Where it has been rife has been in religious orders, this maybe changing.
Again stating the UK, is a false misleading usage of a problem that exists all around the world, you look again very much through black and white or singular and that has no scientific bases what so ever

Re: More Christian bigotry!
Since no-one's answering me I asked Mr Google:Tesstacious wrote:Just curious - what's the Muslim take on all this? Do they prohibit same sex adoptions?
"Legal recognition of same-sex marriage
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, there has been a growing movement in a number of countries to regard marriage as a right which should be extended to gay and lesbian couples. Legal recognition of a marital union opens up a wide range of entitlements, including social security, taxation, inheritance and other benefits unavailable to couples unmarried in the eyes of the law. Restricting legal recognition to heterosexual unions excludes same-sex couples from gaining legal access to these benefits. (While opposite-sex unmarried couples without other legal impediments have the option of marrying in law and so gaining access to these rights, that option is unavailable to same-sex couples.) Lack of legal recognition also makes it more difficult for same-sex couples to adopt children.
Some opponents object to same-sex marriage on religious grounds, arguing that extending marriage to homosexual couples undercuts the conventional meaning of marriage in various traditions, and does not fulfill any procreational role. In countries with monogamous marriages only, some opponents also claim that allowing same-sex marriage will re-open the door to the legalization of polyamorous marriage, or other forms they find objectionable. They also feel that same-sex couples should not be allowed to have or adopt children, and that same-sex marriage would make those adoptions easier; they hold that same-sex households are not an adequate environment for children to be raised in."

A very very mild form of bigotry compared to our Islamic pals, who favour stoning or hanging, or dashing gays off mountains(yes, that's in the Quran). Like comparing the infamous B&B couple with the Muslim patrols in East London, who've reemerged in the news lately - http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/gay-couple-targeted-in-homophobic-attack-by-teenage-gang-on-east-london-street-9558423.htmlPhilagain wrote:

“It would in fact have been a sensible and proportionate accommodation, recognising that religious organisations have a distinct identity and ethos that very often brings a valuable contribution to the wider common good of society.”
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor also spoke of how he unsuccessfully urged the then Prime Minister Tony Blair to provide an opt-out in the Equality Act, allowing for the agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples.
“In spite of the fact that I, as Archbishop of Westminster then, appealed to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet for an exemption from this law, it was not forthcoming and the result has been a sad loss for the Church and society.”
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor added: “How extraordinary that a law, in the name of tolerance, should become so intolerant to a charity that aims only to do good and foster the most vulnerable children.”
He concluded: “We do indeed need in our pluralist society to strike a much fairer balance which recognises the importance of religion and belief and allows a more open and mature accommodation of differences while ensuring that the law protects everyone equally and prevents harm.”
Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor also expressed support for The Telegraph’s editorial praising Baroness Hale, the UK’s most senior female judge.
She suggested last week that Christians who oppose serving gay couples need to have more “religious freedom”.
Baroness Hale was one of the five Supreme Court justices to reject the appeal of Christian B&B owners Peter and Hazelmary Bull, who lost a long-running court dispute after refusing to serve gay couple Martin Hall and Steven Preddy.
In a speech she said “the pendulum has swung too far one way”.

Well you can't change the statute books of both Britain and the EU as a whole.
Why not try to change them and see how far you get.

Actually you are the one generalizing, as 3 people were arrested for this, not exactly an endorsement of many Muslims over here.
Also the stoning of Gays, adultery etc are all found in the Torah and Bible as well, again it will be down to religious political views which hold sway in a country, showing all 3 of the Abrahamic faiths are barbaric in their punishments, but hey lets ignore all these points shall we, where religious political elites have no power anymore in the west

My point is on your illogical view points
I am sure abuse exists in many areas, not matter whether religious, because people who abuse will try to gain an areas where they can. Where it has been rife has been in religious orders, this maybe changing.
Again stating the UK, is a false misleading usage of a problem that exists all around the world, you look again very much through black and white or singular and that has no scientific bases what so ever

Your view point is illogical on Britain and America as again you are going off what you believe on a non-existence biological racial grounds. If he has shown it is rare, clearly it is rare here, unless you can show it is endemic?
Can you?

whereas ther have been a number of cases here....hardly endemic, but thats NOT the same as non existance...
