I believe that Catholic Charities had the right to turn away homosexual couples, but I also think that the government had the right to take away their funds. I attended Catholic school as a child, and the State Education dept. offered the school some funding for textbooks. Monsignor refused, and people were very angry at him. He felt that by keeping government funds out of it, then the government can't tell you what to do. He said that if he accepted the money for books, then perhaps he could only buy the books that the government allowed. And he was 100% right. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
