CNN had an article today regarding a Christian adoption agency who refuses Catholic couples the right to adopt from them. I mean come on. Really? Are we still at that point ecumenically? Sheesh. While I think it's fine for Christian adoption agencies to "weed out" applicants who don't profess Christ, do you actually draw the line within the Christian faith?

I particularly like the reasoning that the agency, Bethany Christian Services, gave to the couple that was rejected: "It has been our understanding that Catholicism does not agree with our Statement of Faith". Are you kidding me??? It has been our understanding? They might as well say, "We've heard it through the grapevine that we shouldn't be giving you Catholics our babies." ...Or "Rumor has it that Catholics aren't really Christians, so we're sorry that we can't allow you to become parents." Come on now, at least give some reasoning people.

Granted, I could list a few issues I have with the Roman Catholic "statement of faith". However, I could also give a few issues I have with my wife's statement of faith. Does that mean I don't want her having my children?

I'm taking my soapbox and going home.
