The government says, and I quote Mr Blair "I start from a very firm foundation. There is no place in our society for discrimination. That's why I support the right of gay couples to apply to adopt like any other couple. And that way there can be no exemptions for faith-based adoption agencies offering public funded services from regulations that prevent discrimination." And yet it is clear that discrimination is not only present, instead it is on the rise!
By stripping Catholics of the right to live by their beliefs and their faith, isn't that discrimination? Catholics believe that marriage is a sacred sacrament that leads to the production of a nourishing family environment, and can only occur between a male and a female. Catholics, DO NOT see being of homosexual orientation as a sin, despite what many out there may think. The church however, teaches that there must only be sexual activity within the marriage, and it teaches that marriage can only occur between male and female.
