Catholics need not apply
LargeBill points me to this story of a Mississippi adoption agency rejecting applications from Catholics on the grounds that the Catholicism does not "agree with the agency's Statement of Faith." The agency is - now get this - Bethany Christian Services, and it receives funding from the state-sponsored sell of "Choose Life" car tags.
Here's the organization's "Statement of Faith". It's nothing more than a general overview of the Bible and Christian faith. I don't see anything that disqualifies Catholics (or any other Christian denomination for that matter). I have a feeling the true "Statement of Faith" being practiced by the board of Bethany is closer to this than anything you'll find in the bible.
