PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, March 28, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) The city of Philadelphia will no longer place foster children with parents through the Archdiocese of Philadelphias Catholic Social Services (CSS) because the archdiocese wont place kids with same-sex couples.
A short time ago, the City ceased new foster care child intakes with CSS, Kenneth Gavin, the archdioceses chief communications officer, told LifeSiteNews via email. CSS is, at its core, an institution founded on faith based-principles. As such, CSS conducts its operations based upon deeply held religious beliefs and principles.
The archdiocesan program recognizes the vital importance of the foster care program in our city and is proud to provide safe and nurturing foster environments to young people in need, said Gavin. Given the longstanding partnership between CSS and the city, we hope to continue our productive relationship with the City of Philadelphia to serve those among us in need.
As same-sex marriage was introduced and eventually imposed on the U.S., Catholic charities in Boston, Washington, D.C., Illinois, and San Francisco have had to stop facilitating adoptions rather than place children with same-sex couples.
A man and a woman united in marriage, together with their children, form a family, the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches (CCC 2202). This institution is prior to any recognition by public authority, which has an obligation to recognize it. It should be considered the normal reference point by which the different forms of family relationship are to be evaluated.

Country was founded on religious freedom, and now religion is oppressed , because mentally sick people refuse to abide by God, or in their case nature, or science.
What could be lower than to play games with the lives of at risk children, games to satisfy the bureaucrats' embrace of prurience and perversion.
Wow. A church that still has morals. Thats rare.
These kids could a religious household. The Rats are not helping ‘the children’
Damn “progressives”, they’re creating more places I’ll never set foot in.
Thus substantially increasing certain boys’ chances of being molested by their two “dads”.
Goodbye!!
Told ya this would happen.
The gays were all no this is about lovvve we dont want to force our views on anyone
Yeah BS
Tell the Devil to go to HELL
Yep I remember VT civil unions and them saying they just want to visit in hospital, then MA got their marriage, and right away they went after Catholic Charities. Since then they have forced businesses to adopt their agenda,and what they have not understood is that millions of us have not accepted their lifestyle,and this family never will.
Two homo women adopted 6, or 8 kids and went right off the cliff killing all. No skid marks, but there was reports of abuse by these two women.
These poor children.
Our Heavenly Father is the Giver of Life . . . male and female. What part of Mark 10:6-9 don’t people understand?
6 But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female.[a] 7 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8 and the two will become one flesh.[c] So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
Weird Mayor Kenney Of Philadelphia |
Hang in there Catholics.
And sadly, the Catholic Church will do NOTHING about this injustice! We will not hear one single homily in any church in the area about this. There will be no political action done in return by the Church at election time. It is a shame, because the Church should be organizing, mobilizing and getting the Faithful out to the polls to vote out these vicious anti-Catholic losers like Kenney in Philadelphia.
Philly... A city adhering to its motto: The City of Brotherly Love!
to become a foster child it takes a lot of chaos in the kids life, and the state takes care of them by putting them in chaotic homes?...nice...
