Let me counter with this, SG:

If any govt funded adoption agency was letting sex offenders adopt a child, would you be upset by that? Would you ask that the govt pull their funding, and in fact close them down?

Of course you would.

In the eyes of the Catholic church, homosexuals are sex offenders. Of course they don't want to let them adopt children. In their eyes, it's morally and ethically wrong.

The article you linked doesn't specify if the Catholic Agencies are receiving govt funding. If they are, I think what needs to happen is that they become a privately funded organization. This should allow them to discriminate as they see fit, according to their beliefs, because it's being done through the Caothlic Church, and not the govt.

If the Catholic Agencies are already private, I don't see why they can't choose who they see fit and turn away those that they don't believe will raise a child properly. And if the govt has a problem with that, it needs to open and fund their own Adoption Agencies that won't discriminate against homosexuals.

Problem solved.
