DC Archdiocese Ends Foster Care Services Over New Same-Sex Marriage Law

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
CBN News reported yesterday that in Washington, DC, the Catholic Archdiocese has transferred its entire program of foster care services to the non-profit National Center for Children and Families. The Archdiocese made the move, after 80 years of furnishing services, because DC's new same-sex marriage law that will take effect shortly could require it to allow same sex couples to serve as foster parents, in violation of Church teachings. (See prior related posting).
