Isn't this precisely symmetrical to religions opposed to interracial adoption? Or is the point that opposition to interracial adoption is irrational while opposition to adoption by gays is not?
- This was the right move for the Archdiocese to make. Really, it was the only move they could make. It's sad that many children will suffer, but the Archdiocese has to obey its conscience.
