Exactly what they said they'd do.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington has been forced to give up the foster care program it ran with the aid of public funds, after repeated warnings that there would be no other choice should the D.C. City Council insist that the archdiocese recognize gay "marriage" partners in its employment practices.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Catholic Charities handed over the foster-care program intact to the National Center for Children and Families on February 1. Catholic Charities, whose foster program included 43 children, 35 families and seven staff, runs more than 20 social service programs for the District of Columbia and receives $20 million in city funding.
Let's hope that the children get through this.
Oh, I imagine the kids will be just fine. Maybe even better off.
ReplyDeleteThat was an assinine staement Capps. Now they get to go into the public system. Woe for the little children.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I wish the Archdiocese would have fought this all the way to SCOTUS, but the DC City Council has already shown contempt for court rulings it doesn't like...
ReplyDeleteYeah, because we know how efficiently the government runs things.
ReplyDeleteCapper is constitutionally illiterate, apparently.
Nah, Amy. Capper's not a bad guy. Some messed up ideas, but a good guy. Makes great cheeseburgers too! Sometimes I'm a little surprised that I'm friends with someone I disagree with most of the time. Strange world...
ReplyDeleteAmy, where in the Constitution does it say that foster kids have to be serviced by a Catholic social service agency?
ReplyDeleteYou all seem to forget that I worked in foster care for seven years. I've seen how the public sector works and how the private sector works, and have worked in both areas. I don't have much use for supposed religious groups that exploit abused and neglected children for profits. They are not very good, have too high of a turnover rate, and no accountability.
