From "Catholic adoption agency to defy gay rights law" by Johnathan Petre, posted 6/8/08 at dailymail.co.uk.

A Roman Catholic adoption agency headed by Britain's most senior Catholic churchman is to defy the Government over its controversial gay equality laws.

While other Catholic adoption agencies are caving in to the legislation by severing their ties with the Church or even closing, the Westminster Society will continue its policy of placing children only with married heterosexuals and single people.

Its stance will set the Cardinal - who welcomed Tony Blair into the Catholic Church last December - on a collision course with New Labour and the gay rights lobby.

Please pray for Cardinal O'Connor and for freedom in Great Britain.
