Mad in Mass.

The Catholic Church in Massachusetts is under fire for allowing its adoption agencies to give children to homosexual couples. Pro-family activist Brian Camenker of the pro-family organization Article 8 Alliance says the problem has occurred because "the state government is requiring any adoption agency to give babies to homosexuals if they're asked to, and the church is going along with it," he notes. Catholics are outraged at their church leaders' response, Camenker contends; however he says, "the Archdiocese of Boston has decided not to defy the government." Some church leaders are saying they have no choice, the Article 8 spokesman points out; yet others are saying they have no problem assigning children to homosexual couples, even though the action violates Vatican dictates.
