JACKSON, Miss. -- A Christian adoption agency that receives money from Choose Life license plate fees said it does not place children with Roman Catholic couples because their religion conflicts with the agency's "Statement of Faith."What they're saying here, is that while you might be bat-shit crazy, you're not double super secret bat-shit crazy, and therefore you're not allowed to have a baby, because you won't be able to brainwash the child in the proper way.
Bethany Christian Services stated the policy in a letter to a Jackson couple this month, and another Mississippi couple said they were rejected for the same reason last year.
"It has been our understanding that Catholicism does not agree with our Statement of Faith," Bethany's state director Karen Stewart wrote. "Our practice to not accept applications from Catholics was an effort to be good stewards of an adoptive applicant's time, money and emotional energy."
Sandy and Robert Steadman, who learned of Bethany's decision in a July 8 letter, said their priest told them the faith statement did not conflict with Catholic teaching.
Loria Williams of nearby Ridgeland said she and her husband, Wes, had a similar experience when they started to pursue an adoption in September 2004.
"I can't believe an agency that's nationwide would act like this," Loria Williams said. "There was an agency who was Christian based but wasn't willing to help people across the board."
"I can't believe an agency that's nationwide would act like this,"
Honey, that's what we've been saying about all of you crazy fuckers for years! Now you're starting to get a little taste of it. Pretty bitter, isn't it?
Or maybe they just don't like the crazy hats...
OMG, where's his pointy hat?!?
