Asked about allowing same sex couples to adopt children, the Cardinal answered, "This would destroy the child's future, it would be an act of moral violence against the child."

He said, "They say that children adopted by two people of the same sex are very happy. A child may be for a couple of years but when the child reaches the age of reason, when he grows up and becomes a young adult, how tragic it will be for him to let his friends know that his 'parents' are two women or two men? This situation endangers the child's personality, balance, harmony."

So much for the "wisdom" of Texas allowing homosexuals to adopt.

As an interesting aside, however, I hear the "Old Catholic" or "Old Roman Catholic" churches (schismatic churches that broke away from Rome in the late 1800s) sometimes support homosexual adoption, and their ordained clergy, some of whom are former Catholic priests who left to get married, often make such statements publicly. In fact, this was mentioned to me today by a wonderful priest, Fr. Schumacher, Vicar General of the Diocese of Fort Worth.

The Old Catholic Churches are a joke and always will be.
