The Biden administration Thursday said it would rescind religious-freedom protections granted to child welfare agencies and require them to place children with LGBTQ families and to people of other faiths.
The move will “further civil rights and equal opportunity for all people, irrespective of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion,” according to a press statement from the Department of Health and Human Services.
The waivers — granted under President Trump to the states of Michigan, South Carolina, and Texas and to select child welfare agencies in those states — had dropped nondiscrimination requirements based on religious objections, HHS said.

Maybe, just maybe, this is something in which the Federal government should have no say.

Try telling a Jewish adoption agency that they have to give children to Muslim families, or vice versa.

In the past , Catholic agencies would never abide by these rules. Now I’m not so sure. What say you Francis?

You'll never find a single narrative in the Gospels where Jesus told people to have Caesar institutionalize all forms of charity. In fact, He said quite the opposite.
Religious organizations should just get over themselves and get out of the business of advancing paganism through their government contracts. There's no damn good reason to take government money as part of any charitable undertaking.

Catholic Charities in Illinois just dropped doing adoptions after the state required accommodating same sex couples. The realm of the almighty State gets larger, and personal freedom and Religion gets smaller.

When Sodom got sufficiently evil, God didn't promise to protect Lot if he continued to live there. He said "Get the heck out of Dodge and don't look back" (paraphrasing Gen 19:15-17).

There's no damn good reason to take government money as part of any charitable undertaking. "True, as strings from Hell are usually attached, as here, yet the Left is not going to let private charities opt out either. In fact, the Left works to have government replace all private charities as well as businesses so that all are dependent upon the deified government, giving the rulers the dictatorial power they lust after as proxy servants of the devil.

Religion and personal freedom should thrive in these times.
There’s nothing that prevents Catholic Charities from processing adoptions for Catholics. They just won’t get paid by Caesar for it.
In other words, this is an object lesson in what the word CHARITIES in that organization’s name actually means.
It’s long past time for religious people to grow up and get over that lame sh!t they’ve been accepting for decades.

Stoking the fires of Hell. "And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only." (2 Kings 17:17-18)

There’s a reason why you never hear the Amish complain about any of this sh!t. The notion that a government should pay them for works of charity is beyond alien to them.
