Catholic Bishops Rebuke Self-Described 'Strong Catholic' Terry McAuliffe - Washington Free Beacon

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The Virginia Catholic Conference, which has represented Virginia's two Catholic bishops on public policy issues since 2004, said state law has allowed adoption to become more expansive, while also respecting the religious liberty of charities.
51% : McAuliffe, who has described himself as a "very strong Catholic," argued that religious liberty protections "prevent loving families from caring for our most vulnerable children."
45% : Philadelphia city leaders attempted to shut down Catholic Social Services unless the charity agreed to certify same-sex couples as foster parents.
39% : McAuliffe's turn against religious liberty rankled some at the former governor's alma mater, the Catholic University of America.
37% : The refusal of Philadelphia to contract with CSS for the provision of foster care services unless the agency agrees to certify same-sex couples as foster parents cannot survive strict scrutiny and violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the Court's decision.
