That Protestant adoption agency that refused to allow Catholics to adopt kids has changed its policy. They now say that as long as the potential Catholic parents agree with their statement of faith, they’ll be welcome to adopt. Notice that they’re not changing the statement of faith, just saying that Catholics are not a priori unacceptable. Interesting.,
Amazing how a little daylight chances things!
What was the statement of faith?
Did it have to do anything with snake handling, shaking in the pews or giving $$$ to Benny Hinn?
I think they were doing Catholics a better service by refusing to let them sign the Statement of Faith (which is, IMO, heresy):
What would happen if an adoptive Catholic couple didn’t adhere to the “Statement of Faith”? Would they loose custody of the children?
(Hit the “Submit” button too soon)
I meant to ask: how long does the Statement of Faith bind the adoptive parents? Until the children are 18? What if the the agency decides later on that letting the child become a Catholic violates the Statement of Faith- can they remove the children?
OK, so it is clear they are saying the Scriptures overrule all but they are clearly blowing off Mathew 16 where Jesus puts Peter in charge here on terra firma….Yeah, a Catholic is better off not signing off on this protestant confusion.
