The Hot Air website reports today (December 30, 2011) that the Roman Catholic bishops in Illinois have decided to shut down most of the Catholic Charities affiliates in the state, since the Illinois state legislature recently passed a requirement that says adoption and foster-care agencies -- in order to be eligible for state money -- must consider same-sex couples as potential foster-care or adoptive parents.
This is not the first time that Catholic Charities has retaliated against a state or district by cutting its services for passing such a law.
Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. passed similar laws -- resulting in Catholic Charities closing down its services in those locations as well.
The Roman Catholic Church is adamantly opposed to same-sex cohabitation -- and even considers it to be a sin.
