Archbishop George Niederauer

San Francisco, Calif., Feb 7, 2007 / 07:25 pm (CNA).- Speaking to a local radio station on Sunday, San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer said he is “really very happy” about a compromise plan that makes it possible for Catholic Charities adoption workers in his archdiocese to refer homosexual couples to adopt children.

Wednesday, the California Catholic Daily transcribed an on-air interview the archbishop gave to San Francisco’s KCBS, in which the Niederaruer lauded a plan that sees Catholic Charities employees working for a subsidiary of Family Builders by Adoption, an agency which provides adoptions to homosexual couples.

Asked his opinion of the agreement between Catholic Charities and Family Builders by Adoption, the archbishop commented that although Catholic adoption agencies could not remain open due to state law, “I’m really very happy with the decision made by the Catholic Charities CEO,” which, “was to work with the program on the Internet for finding homes for children, posting their pictures and being able to guide people who would be interested in this particular child to an adoption agency which could handle the situation.”

Catholic Charities San Francisco made the decision to close its adoption services after receiving clarification from the Vatican that Catholic organizations should not take part in the adoption of children to homosexual couples. However, rather than removing itself completely from the adoption business, as its counterpart in Boston did a few months earlier, Catholic Charities San Francisco struck an agreement to pay workers who would labor for California Kids Connection, a web-referral service for the pro-homosexual-adoption Family Builders.

The archbishop said he respected the opinion of “those within the Church…who feel that even that is too much of an involvement, but I believe we have examined what we’re doing and vetted it very carefully, and what we’re really doing is putting potential adoptive parents in touch with adoption agencies that can help them.”

“The most important person in the adoption is the child,” Niederauer also said. “Important as it is for couples to be able to adopt a child if they want to, it’s most important of all that the child have a home.”

The archbishop noted that the Church’s teaching is that the child should have a mother and a father.

For centuries, church leaders employed trial by ordeal.They were wrong.For centuries, they insisted under pain of death, the earth was flat and the sun revolved around it.They were wrong.In the mid 1800's, the church said vaccinations were evil. They were wrong.In post WWII Canad, the church fiercely opposed Jewish immigration to Canada. They were wrong.Today, the rhetoric about homosexual activity has nothing to do with sex acts, but is aimed at the very existence of homosexuals, fomenting and enabling hatred, violence and bloodshed.Science and compassion are disparaged.No ones religious beliefs are being infringed upon. The vast majority of child molesters and sexual predators are heterosexual-source-FBI, RCMP, Interpol and Scotland Yard. You cannot claim rights under the law while at the same time calling for the diminishing of rights for others.We are secular democracies with freedom for all beliefs and states of being.

Hooray for the Bishop!
Gay couples are opening their hearts and homes to foster children that are otherwise left in the system for years. Many married couples are so preoccupied with biological children and adopting infants that they are failing to provide a home and care to these abandoned foster children. When all the above commentors offer to adopt these kids, maybe then they can talk about appropriate homes. In the meantime, they certainly aren't offering any real solutions, but the Bishop is.

The hatred of sexuality in these posts is palpable and produces irrational rhetoric.
How can one possibly wish that an orphan remain parentless rather than have gay parents nurture them, probably better than would heterosexual couples who are traditionally known to molest, beat, wound and even kill their children, especially foster ones.

It is clear to anyone who has eyes to see that this "new church" is not Catholic. The "pope" participates in Muslim, Jewish, and who know what other kinds of non-Christian or pseudo-Christian worship directly against what the Apostles and the Lord taught. "If anyone comes to you preaching another gospel, let him be anathema." So why is everyone surprised over yet another display of behavior that is contrary to true Catholic teaching? "A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can an evil fruit produce good fruit. "Come out from among them, my people, lest you be numbered as one of them and be subject to the wrath that is to come." Apocalypse.

Paul Okemos has stated over and over again that homosexuls are hard wired through a complex mixture of hormones and it is against Christian principles to criticise his ilk because it is HUMAN and NOT God's teaching. That is bunkum to the Nth degree. Is your copy of the Bible Paul, missing the following Verses..Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22,
Leviticus 20:13
Judges 19,
Deuteronomy and Kings, (these books state that there shall be no Sodomites allowed in Israel).
Romans 1:26-27,
1 Corinthians 6:9-10,
1 Timothy 1:9-10.
Jude 7 refers back to the sin of Sodom.
Homosexuality and Lesbianism is NOT an off the cuff remark we find in our Holy Scritures is it?
The word LOVE is printed 226 times from Genesis to Revelations and the word is not once attached to Homosexuals and Lesbians, so this statement like being hard wired is a lie. Your first sexual arousal occured at an early age and involved a male and you have given in to temptation since then.
The Internationally known lesbian mouth piece Camille Paglia stated, 'Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction..No one is born gay..homosexuality is and adaption, not an inborn trait.' You Paul, deny this truth and scatter myths as if you were distributing DATA. Many a homosexual and lesbian have realised this truth and by the grace of God, now live as happily married people with loving families of their own.
History has shown that placing children for adoption as well as fostering does not work here in England.Two

The teaching of the church also exclude discrimination. YOu guys are just as hypocrite as the bishop. Moreover, if the church teaches that each child should have a mother and a father, i'd like to see all of you putting the same energy in banning divorce, cohabitation and pre-marital sex. Until you put your money where your mouth is... keep it clean. We do not need more ignorant hypocritical Catholic.

"The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bad bishops" - St. John Chrysostom.

Your Excellency, exactly what are you thinking? How is it that you can make a statement like this that is opposed to the ordinary Magisterium of the Church?

Homosexual behavior is "gravely depraved" and are "intrinsically disordered" It is wrong to even suggest that a child should be placed into an environment where homosexual behavior is classified as anything but depraved and disordered.

Your Excellency, please re-read CCC #2357!

I spent some time in Salt Lake. The Catholic Church as a result of Bishop Niederhaur was a scandal to the LDS church. I have had many Mormons insist that the Catholic Church not only accepts homosexuality but enables it simply because of the witness presented by the former Ordinary of Salt Lake City. One only had to observe the type of people he surrounded himself with.
May God have Mercy on us.

Homosexuality is a grave disorder. St. Paul talks about it clearly in Romans 1, and for some reason it never comes up during the three-year cycle of the Mass readings. So it is no wonder that so many Catholics fall for the propaganda put out by homosexuals and their sympathizers. For a real eye opener of how the homosexual agenda operates, read the first chapter of a book titled "The marketing of evil".

This bishop, and others like him need to be expelled and soon. We need to pray a lot more rosaries for things to start to turn around.

St. Michael the Archangel, protect us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, by the divine powers of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits that roam about the earth seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Blessed mother Mary, pray for us. Amen.

Paul's facts are incorrect. Ask anyone trying to adopt, and you will find that it is not children who are on a waiting list, but potential parents. Good families with 1 mommy and 1 daddy are trying to adopt children, and they cannot. Soon, with Paul's help and people like him, the only people who will be able to adopt in this country will be homosexuals. It is not fair to children to force this upon them. If homosexuality is not wrong, then perhaps pedophilia is not wrong. Where does it end? If you follow Pual's argument to its logical conclusion, then any 'consensual' sexual act would be permissable, even one between a 45 year old man, and a 7 year old child who has just reached the age of reason. Where does it end?

I'm a convert. One of the reasons I joined the Catholic Church was the security in and authority of the Magisterium. It isn't a democratic institution. If we are Catholic we must embrace the teachings, dogmas, etc. of our Church. I don't understand why Bishops, Priests, and lay members must "push the envelope" that is actually the security of the loving arms of Jesus around us! We must protect innocent children from disordered lifestyles that can lead them to Hell. Gay adoptions are always wrong.

Here you have a Catholic bishop participating in evil to children - and he thinks it's good.

What is the average Catholic to think? When the Church leaders fall below the average level of a sinful world (just as so many did with the homomolestation scandal) - the average Catholic parent begins to see the Church as a threat to the souls of his own children. How do you explain something like this to a child? How do you explain to your children that a Catholic bishop is enabling the denial of mothers and fathers to children. I'd say 'For shame,' but this bishop apparently doesn't have any.

Is there anyone in the Church who has enough shame to do something about this?

Frankly, I doubt it.

It's sad when your own Church leaders make you sick.

Of course the Archbishop is wrong. To refer a child to an agency that places children with homosexual couples is placing that child in grave moral danger.Paul Okermos feels as though his nose has been disjointed, well, what does he expect on a Catholic web site, tea and sympathy? Let us examine the claims made by homosexuals about being "MADE THAT WAY." No, you are not hard wired nor is homosexuality a genetic trait. Homosexual people, male and female are living a lie and are not accepting their personal responsability for their life stile. Camille Paglia the mouth piece for lesbians in the USA has said and I quote: "Our bodies were designed for reproduction. NO ONE IS BORN GAY..homosexuality is an adaptation, not an inborn trait." Scientific study of identical twins where one is gay and the other is not is a fact that tells us when identical twins have a perfect genetic match, it follows that it is not geneticaly inherited. Besides, the gene would have been extinct within the second generation of Adam, homosexuals can not pass the gene on to the next generation, it would have died with them.In 2005,the Universety of Illinois screend the entire genome system and could not find the mithycal gene that all homosexuls claim as their very own.Among the gay and lesbian fraternity a shorter life is the norm. Higher mental ilness, drug takeing, suicide, heart disease and diabetes are prolific. We will not mention HIV and other venereal diseases here because it is obvious.

Paul's angry response requires an answer. Paul, I will not argue with you about whether being gay is a mental disorder or if it is pre-wired. However, the Church asks such people, notwithstanding their sexual orientation, to renounce it, to marry a person of the opposite gender, and to bear children on this earth and raise them, such that these children will have a chance to gain the joys of heaven. This is something that gay sex simply cannot do, no matter what the arguments are. I know gay people who have done exactly that, and they are heroes to me. It may be true that enjoyment of sex with their lifetime partner is problematic for them. Yet, to put this hardship into perspective, many human beings are either born with, or saddled during life with, much more severe hardships than this. Sex is for procreation and nothing else. Paul, may God bless you.

To Paul in Okemos, im sorry that you feel that way. However, it would be more unChristian to ignore the Word of God. It clearly states in the Bible that homosexuality is sinful and goes against the natural order God made. Also it is not wrong to judge, as long as you are able to stand up to the same judgement. We as Christians have to help each other in every way including standing up and saying when something is wrong.

Moreover these "parents" will have a hidden (or, sad to say, overt) sexual behavior that these poor kids will imitate while growing mature.
Hence is realized what seemed impossible until now: Homosexuals are able to reproduce.

I am very disgusted with the unChristian judgmentalism of your readers. Despite the entrenched prejudice in the HUMAN teachings of MEN, NOT GOD, in the church, it is fairly well accepted in scientific and psychological professions that being gay is not a mental disorder, and that ones sexual orientation is not "chosen", but rather, prewired in the brain at birth by complex hormonal factors. To me, it is very unChristian to deny an unwanted child a home just because you have a judgmental attitude towards gay people. Gay couple often adopt the hardest to place children, and give them very good loving homes. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Hatred is not a family value.

Woe to him for being 'very happy' for placing a child into a scandalous house. That is right bishop, the most important person in the adoption is the child so why put him in a house where his immortal soul will be so jeopardized? Why not just put razor blades on all the surfaces of this "home" and constantly leaving the stove burners on high heat? This way there will at least be an outward sign of what is truly taking place to each of the souls within this house for each mortal offense against God and man? God so loves the world that He calls the Bishops of His church to unceasingly work to correct the wayward actions of all His people. That is why Jesus died on the cross and He asks us to do the same Bishop, why are you avoiding this cross with apparent joy?

“The most important person in the adoption is the child,” Niederauer also said. “Important as it is for couples to be able to adopt a child if they want to, it’s most important of all that the child have a home.”

Sometimes we Catholics want to see the good in each individual to the point that we cannot recognize the evil: The Archbishop should understand that posting photos of children on an adoption website specifically oriented to the homosexual community is simply advertising victims for molestation. Homosexual practice is a manifest evil and disordered; having any part of placing a child in such an environment is no better than paying for a second party to obtain an abortion. It exposes the child to spiritual death.
