Surely, this is a joke? How do they always manage to outdo themselves, time after time after time? Cardinal Levada isn't representing San Francisco, you morons; he is representing the doctrines of the Catholic Church to the world. Nor is the Church trying to "meddle" in your precious hedonistic, bacchanal "values, customs, and traditions"; it is only trying to promote what it believes is the truth.
If these SF political moonbats don't think organizations should promote their own beliefs within the bounds of law, maybe they should issue similar whines against the ACLU, People for the American Way (world's most ironic title!), the Unitarian Universalists, etc. etc. But, somehow, they consider the Catholic Church, specifically, such a threat their agenda that they single it out; hmmm...isn't that interesting? I suppose we Catholics should be pleased that at least we have all the right enemies.
The SF Government makes the same mistake as liberal Catholics. They believe the Church is some sort of democracy where their can throw a tantrum and overthrow church teachings.
It's so typical for Liberals, they demand tolerance for their lifestyle but any one or group who disagrees with their beliefs is Hateful, Discriminatory, Insulting, Ignorant blah blah blah.

Exactly. They are trying to force catholic charities to defy catholic teaching by making them place children with same sex couples.
It is similar to attempts to force catholic hospitals to perform abortions and prescribe contraception.
If they want to place children in the homes of same sex couples, they should form their own adoption agency.
I'm guessing most mothers-to-be would prefer to work through the catholic agency.
Similarly, patients who go to a catholic hospital shouldn't expect an abortion, or a prescription for the pill. They can go to other hospitals for that.
