You can't have it both ways. If the law says that all adoption agencies must arrange adoptions for gay couples then the rights of the Catholic church are superceded by that law.

As another example where exemption is permitted: Abortion is legal in this country but some surgeons can opt out if it goes against their personal beliefs. Not all surgeons perform abortions. If all surgeons were to be forced by law to perform abortions then the ones who could not in all conscience live with themselves if they did so would have to give up being surgeons - thus causing a lot of people to miss out on other vital operations.

Why cannot the Catholic adoption agencies just deal with same sex couples and refer the gay couples to other agencies, just as they do now and just as doctors who could not personally condone an abortion do not insist that their patient doesn't have one but refers that patient to someone who is willing to deal with it?

Here's a thought - how be if Catholic adoption agencies only deal with applications by Catholics? Would that be acceptable in law?

If so, it would solve the problem because if gay civil partnerships are frowned on by the Catholic church there will be no gay Catholc couples and consequently no gay Catholic couples applying to adopt - so no problem with the Catholic adoption agency turning them away.

ok.......................Friend, and very good friend. Her Brother married someone in Pakistan that was related. Last Christmas she lost her nephew ( 3 years old) because......he had conflicting genes from both mother and father. My friend is also married to someone that is related to her. Although she will not be having children with this man ( because she can't stand him) she was offered the test to see if she carried the gene, and if her future children were at risk.



Now..........the point is.............. Life>> or follow on because you have to do what other people think you should do??

There may not have been as many babies to adopt if the Catholic Church had allowed Condoms!

Also very TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

which comes back to my last post on religion............which..........is all about dictatorship.

Willow.. your suggestion leads us back to the same thing.. is the Catholic Church or any religion exempt from the law laid down by parliment.. an elected parliment of whatever party? do we go down the road were we make exemptions for Muslims,Catholics,mormons,buddists,or all faiths.. what is the point of making laws that bar discrimnation if some orginisations can claim exclusion?
