ou know, it’s been a while since I stepped inside a church, but I feel pretty comfortable in saying someone is doing it wrong here.
An organization called The Missionaries of Charity has asked 13 government orphanages in India to close after the country allowed single, divorced, or separated people to adopt, and they fear gay couples adopting children, The New Civil Rights Movement reports.
Yikes. And I thought the nuns from my Catholic school were Old Testament.
After the Indian government opened up adoption rights, the Missionaries of Charity made their position clear.
“The new guidelines hurt our conscience,” said one of the sisters, Sister Amala. “They are certainly not for religious people like us. What if the single parent who we give our baby turns out to be gay or lesbian? What security or moral upbringing will these children get? Our rules only allow married couples to adopt.”
God’s love, dear reader. Can you feel it?
Something tells me Jesus would not approve of these actions.
Then again, this isn’t so different from what many conservatives are trying to do here in the United States in restricting LGBT parents from adopting children.
BNR Bottom Line:
Unfortunately, as is always the case, it’s the kids who must suffer from the ignorance of adults.
