If some crime is happening I have to interfere, I have to say that this is criminal.
She says she is fighting abortion by adoption. But who is responsible for abortion? Mother Teresa, the Polack Pope, and the whole company! They are responsible for abortion because they are against contraceptives, they are against birth control. And if you are against contraceptives, against birth control, then abortion is bound to happen. First they manage that abortion should continue and then they fight abortion by adoption!
And the questioner asks that I have been criticizing her because she refused a child to a Protestant family to be adopted because he was Protestant, and she wanted a Catholic family to adopt the child.

You may be born in a Hindu family; that does not mean that you have become a Hindu. You may be born in a communist family; that does not mean that you have become a communist. You may be born to a family... the father is a doctor, the mother is a doctor, that does not mean you have become a doctor. It should be so -- two doctors giving birth to a child -- he should be immediately given a certificate that he is an M.D.! This is nonsense! Religion has to be chosen.
The questioner also asked that, "If you don't know the family of the child -- because many children you bring in your orphanage are thrown-away children; you don't know their family, you don't know their background -- then how do you decide?"
Then she said, "Because I am a Catholic and I have been bringing
