CNN had an interesting article. In the article, it says Bethany Christian Services, a Christian based adoption agency, refuses to place adoptees with Roman Catholic families, because they say “their [Catholic] religion conflicts with the agency’s “Statement of Faith.”

Ok begin Rant.

For one thing Catholicism, is a denomination of the Christian religion, NOT a separate religion.

For another thing, their statement of faith in no way conficts the Catholic Church’s teachings. Its their own naivety, in thinking that Catholics get forgiveness from the church or the priest, and not directly from Jesus and God, that makes them think their statement conficts what Catholics believe. It really bothers me when people just assume something and don’t research it and find out on their own. If you think Catholics do something, especially something you don’t agree with, why don’t you find one to ask, one to see if that really is what happens, or if someone is spinning a tale.

For another thing, this just seems, totally prejudice on so many levels, Even if a family does not believe in their statement of faith, how does THAT make them bad parents, unsuitable to be good parents??? It just doesn’t make any sense. I just don’t get it, I thought this was a country where we are free to practice our own faiths? Yet, these people are saying “If you have one faith, you won’t make good parents.” It just befumbles me!

Ok end rant
