Re: Catholic Charities Issue

[Hamilton02]

Rick- I would have thought you would not fall into this sort of either/or reasoning given that it implicates the free market.  There is a free market in the provision of services, including charitable services, and if a religious organization drops out, others will step in.  To think that the children will inevitably be hurt because CC follows its beliefs is to assume CC is the only route.  It may have been a good route (I don't know), but it is a huge mistake to think it is the only one.       Marci     In a message dated 3/11/2006 9:23:20 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I think Marci and Doug are spot on. The state, as in Rust,  says "this is our program, take it or leave it." CC says, "okay, we'll leave it."  CC loses a part of its ministry, the state loses one of its best adoption-service providers, and the kids stay in state custody longer (and, for some, perhaps permanently, since CC was extra good at placing hard-to-place children).
