Blair wants exemption for opt-out Catholic agencies
The damage done by the Catholic Church need not be gone over again.
The fact that this story headlined the Guardian this week is apposite.
The esssential thing is that gay couples have the right to adopt and
bring up a child.
Mr Tony Blair is sympathetic to the stance of the church- offering an
exemption to the church agencies.
Cardinal Jerome Murphy O Connor states that the Catholic adoption
agencies should not have to accept gay adoption rights.
The Catholic Church in England makes a lot of cash through its
adoption agencies. we need not explore the damage done to Irish
women right through until the last generation through the offices
of the Catholic Church in Ireland, nor to the children who
suffered abuse within the church schools. This has never been
apologised for. In the run up to the election the main government
party, who indemnified the church for 1/10 of the damages caused by the
State and Church homes is asking us to vote on Childrens rights
+ without ever debating the deal that Michael Woods signed.
+ Without ever courageously facing the issues of the Laffoy commission.
In England, the Prime minister of that country will find a 'middle- ground'
to allow Church run institutional agencies to opt-out of gay adoption
rights.
