Dear Bryher1,
Thank you.
"The only burr under my saddle is that plenty of heterosexual people don't agree with the basic moral teaching of the Church (i.e. John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, etc.) and some here seem to be raising homosexuality to a higher level sin than murder."
I'm in complete sympathy with regard the failure of the Church to exercise appropriate discipline with Catholic politicians who support legal regimes that promote death. If it were up to me, at the very least, these folks would be unable to receive the sacraments without public repentence.
However, even these politicians can claim they only remotely participate in evils such as abortion, while two active homosexuals trying to baptize a child directly and proximately participate in evil.

Well, of course John Kerry and Ted Kennedy are both divorced and remarried and Ted has quite a checkered past, but I'm not privy to whether their public support of abortion is matched by their private practice of the same.
If divorced Catholics who are remarried without an annulment, and Catholics who live together in sin without being married, and Catholics who have had abortions, and Catholics who are involved in ongoing criminal ventures etc. are no longer allowed to have their children baptized, then I guess the same should hold for homosexuals' children.
