The same conundrum faces Catholic Charities, USA, and Catholic Relief Services, both of which receive a majority of their funding—billions of dollars a year—as federal contractors, often operating alongside, or even cooperating intimately with, organizations whose principles “are not in conformity with the Church’s teaching.

The reason Catholic adoption agencies are closing. The fed gov didn't tell them, they must adopt to homosexual "couples" Gov told them to adopt to homosexual "couples" or lose federal funding.

Various state's Baptist Children's Homes are doing just fine and they do not adopt to homosexuals. That policy is possible because they have never accepted a dime in gov (tax payers) money. They spend their own money to serve children and families, money freely donated by churches and individuals.

Not true. The states of Massachusetts and Illinois both told the Church that their agencies must include adoptions by homosexual couples. They were told that this was required by state anti-discrimination laws, not by their acceptance of government money.
