Catholic Church Chooses Discrimination Over Charity in Illinois

[kpete]

"Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Corinthians 13:13, King James Bible)

Apparently the Catholic Diocese skipped that part of the Good Book.

Catholic Charities in Rockford, Illinois have decided that rather than abide with the new civil unions law going into effect in Illinois on June 1st, they'll end all the adoption and foster care services they provide. This move will displace around 350 children in foster care, terminate $7.5 million in state contracts with the "charity", and lead the organization to fire 58 of its employees that work with their state-funded adoption services.

Not sounding so charitable, are they?

1. I like your Christ

I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

2. In the catholic bible the verse is

As it is, these remain: faith, hope and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is love.

5. Hardly Surprising...

Dogma is the number one item on the agenda.

That other stuff like trying to be Christian, only when it's convenient or when there is money involved.
