Via Andrew Sullivan, The Advocate reports that the Catholic diocese of Washington, D.C. has decided to terminate its 80-year-old foster care program in response to the city's decision to legalize same-sex marriage. The program had received about $20 million per year from the city to provide foster care services. Rather than comply with city policy prohibiting discrimination against gay and lesbian couples seeking to become foster parents, the diocese chose to cease providing the services.
What kind of morality says it is more important to discriminate against gay couples than to provide social services to those in need?
