A few weeks ago the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution condemning the Vatican as a “foreign country” that “meddles with and attempts to negatively influence” the SF archdiocese in ending the practice of gay adoptions by Catholic Charities.
At the time I said I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the ACLU to jump in on this blatant violation of the First Amendment freedom of religion. Thankfully, we Catholics have our own public-interest law firm. The Thomas More Law Center has filed a federal lawsuit against San Francisco on behalf of William Donohue’s Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights and two San Francisco Catholics.
According to the press release, which I have just received:
The lawsuit, brought on behalf of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and two San Francisco Catholic citizens, challenges the anti-Catholic resolution as a “startling attack by government officials on the Catholic Church, Catholic moral teaching and beliefs, and those who adhere to the tenets of the Catholic faith, in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.”
Faithful Catholics Not Welcomed

Why isnt’ TM fighting here for Catholic Charities?
Catholic Charities didn’t ask them to?
They don’t want to file a lawsuit?
How ugly will this get?
It’s Google Ads. They put the ads up based on words on this page. I don’t choose what ads they put up. If I find an objectionable ad I can block it from appearing again, but I need to know which ad it was.
Dom – I think he’s referring to the ad for “The Dark History of the Church” which links to: http://www.tannah.net/religion/churchhistory01.htm
OK, thanks. I would prefer if people would just email me rather than post them in the comments of posts that have nothing to do with it. That way everyone else isn’t getting “Someone has responded to your comment” emails for stuff they’re not interested in.
