Catholic Church Gives D.C. Ultimatum

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington stated that it will no longer continue the social service program that runs for the district if the city doesn't a proposed same-sex marriage law.  This threat could greatly affect thousands of people who are helped by this organization.  These people are helped with either adoption, health care, and even homelessness.   Religious organizations would no longer allow same-sex weddings although they would have to obey the laws prohibiting discrimination against same-sex marriages.  I think that the Catholic Archdiocese has every right to do this although I also think that they are going a little too far with trying to express what they want by excluding themselves from the community with certain actions they do for the people.
