to "have standards" implies that being Catholic is substandard and that is the core of what is wrong with this agency...if they are going to take public funds then they should not discriminate against people even if they view them as "substandard"--
btw:this kind of ranking is bigotry and is not Christian.

No- no no no...This is not at all what I meant.

I am a Christian and I think a Hindu adoption agency should be able to exclude those who aren't Hindu. When I said 'standard' you can read that as 'private policy.'

I am fine with a Catholic agency not working with me because I'm evangelical- if that is there standard. Am I saying that my beleifs are substandard? Not at all.

By the way, I work very closely with many Catholic ministries as a pro-life missionary. If I didn't agree with their statement of faith on the immorality of birth control, I would not be allowed to serve as a mentor in their program. More power to them! I do agree with the statement, but if I didn't I certainly wouldn't be claiming that they are bigots. Now, I think a lot of pro-birth control protestant women would make fabulous mentors, but I'm not advocating they change their standards. If protestants don't like it, they can volunteer at a mentoring program that will have them.

I am not impugning Catholics at all. I resent the implication that I have done so.
