Impact of same-sex "marriage"
Back in December (2005), the Becket fund gathered law scholars together to determine the impact that same-sex "marriage" would have on religious freedom. The obvious example involved Boston's Catholic Charities ceasing adoption services (after 100 years of finding homes for children) because Massachusetts's laws required them to place children with homosexual couples, an act Catholics find immoral. The charity halted adoptions to obey a Higher Law. The Becket fund study has determined other ways the legalization of same-sex "marriage" will impact religious freedom, and it appears the scholars (who run the gamut from liberal to conservative) have found a host of things to worry about. The study's papers have yet to be published, but several are available in PDF, so if you want to get into the nitty-gritty and see the projected future battlegrounds if same-sex "marriage" becomes law, read the papers. I find this all quite sobering.
