So your blame should be on the state. The state created this situation. The state forced CCB to make this choice. Catholic charities has been doing this for a century, doing it when the state wasn't. The state stepped in and said, "the only way that we are going to allow you to continue helping the profound need of children is to compromise your ideals." You call on Catholicism to compromise on its ideals in this regard when you are utterly unwilling to do the same.
I for one hope that CCB finds a way to navigate this situation without making compromises. It should be possible, and the only thing that will really stand in its way is if the state refuses to help be part of the solution and insists instead on making the compromise of religion a prerequisite of charity. If the CCB doesn't strive to find a way .. well, just one more failure of Catholics in that part of the country.
