The same happened over here re Catholic funded children's homes and child services.
Because they refused to comply with the law of the land they lost their charity status. Without that they were unable to operate.
My parents, who had a little green charity box for Catholic Children's Homes in the kitchen for as long as I remember - saw it as a direct attack on faith. Teh Gubment trying to tell people what to believe in. I think it actually strengthened their beliefs.
I saw it as the Church cutting off its nose to spite its face.
How many gay couples would apply to a Catholic children's home?
How many more adoptions and foster homes (to loving, normal, STRAIGHT couples) have they now denied children?
WWJD?
Smack up the whole lot of them.
"Suffer the children" wasn't meant as an instruction.
