British Catholic Adoption Agency Becomes Secular To Avoid Gay Adoption Mandate

By Howard Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
In Britain, the Bishop of Nottingham announced yesterday that the Catholic Children's Society adoption agency will become a secular agency by merging with the adoption agency of the Anglican Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. Total Catholic.com reported that the decision was taken because the agency could not, consistent with Catholic teachings, comply with Britain's Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007 that would have required the Catholic agency to sometimes place children for adoption with same-sex couples. Catholic agencies are required to come into compliance by the end of 2008. (See prior related posting.)
