Three of the former members were on Emily Rooney's PBS show tonight. From the show I learned that the children placed with same sex couples were special needs children, children that would otherwise not be placed in homes because the majority of the people who go to Catholic Charities (heterosexuals) don't want them. So the Bishops would rather keep these kids in foster homes or orphanages than place them with loving parents.In a statement, the seven board members said they were "deeply troubled" by the bishops' request, and said it "undermines our moral priority of helping vulnerable children find loving homes.
"We also cannot participate in an effort to pursue legal permission to discriminate against Massachusetts citizens who want to play a part in building strong families," the statement read.
Or maybe the church just wants to hold onto to the kids for themselves since they've done such a wonder job with all the children they've "touched" throughout the years.

How come this article showed up at 10:15am? Are you playing with the internet on taxpayer time? Maybe Amy should complain to the EPA again.
Posted at 10:30PM, it says. That's NIGHT TIME.
Some people are just plain STUPID they can't even read a number correctly.
These anonymous people that attack from the shadows disgust me. They are so bereft of any ideas, they're left to snipe and threaten from the dark. They are of minor consequence.
What is of consequence is that Cardinal Law will have to explain to God how the children entrusted to his care were abused and irrevocably damaged; and Bishop Sean will have to explain to God how the children entrusted to his care were better off in institutional care than with loving parents.
Why would the Bishops be against gay marriage and gay adoptions?
Aren't they hoping to get married and have kids some day?
I think the Massresistance/Article 8 peeper's eyesight is just too bad from looking at all that porn on the web. Have you seen how thick Camenker's glasses are?
His head is just as thick as his glasses.....
