You response implies that the Mormons support homosexuality. Do you have more information? This has significant implications if it is true.
Openly gay scount leaders will have very small packs and troops.
FWIW, I think if we step back a bit and look at it, we see that they yielded. Ultimately their worldview is based in the view of the spirits they are buying into. And as the Mittster himself showed, these spirits can willingly enable homosexual conduct while pretending on some other plane not to.
That’s what happened. If there are people there in the Mormon church who still have a conscience problem with that, then they should look to the source of the conscience, which is the actual almighty God.
I knew that was coming. When you appease the left, they don’t go away. They’re like a shark. If you give a shark your hand, it won’t be satisfied. It will come back for your leg.
In this case, the camel is more like a Trojan Horse. Passing through the Eye of the Needle (yes, it is an actual place) was a reference to one of wealth who has his life consumed with the Earthly pursuits instead of God.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
That was my question.
Very interesting.
Spot on! You made a major contribution.
Rich means your attitude towards your nominal earthly possessions. If you allow demons to get a foothold in them and you get transfixed by those demons, that turns them into idols, and you are “rich” in the sense the passage intends. This is not an unforgivable situation. It can be repented, and the possessions once more yielded to the Lord. Some talk about a gate referred to as the eye of the needle where a camel would need to be unloaded and would have to be crawled through. That would be apropos. I can’t vouch whether or not it was the original intended reference (though leaning towards holding it as plausible).
I don’t think she said anything untrue. Let’s watch how our eyes are directed, though. These same devils are vying to transfix us, too, and make us shortsighted as to how to fight for the Lord. The Lord isn’t there as chiefly some cosmic authorizer of hit men. He is there to get us into His heaven and the fighting is an aspect of the work which we ourselves do as we approach heaven filled up with the Spirit’s power.
When do they change the name to “LGBT Scouts of America”?
Can’t wait to hear about the new patches that will be coming out.
We knew it was coming but that was fast.
RE: Where’s NAMBLA?
I wonder if NAMBLA and GLAAD have some sort of relationship...
It ought to interest any Mormon who sincerely cares about God.
It’s time for Scouts to take the advice of the Ahnold from Terminator II:
“Get.Out.”
It would be more puzzling if they didn’t have a common backing.
If this change in the BSA is the result of LDS capitulation to the homosexual extremists, they bear the full responsibility if this organization if destroyed. No parent is going to spend all that money (which is a major financial expense) to support a child in Boy Scouts only to have open homosexuality perverting them. I expect parents will be giving the final answer on this change of policy by withdrawing their boys and financial support from this sullied organization.
If the LDS people are reading this, I hope you start demanding answers from those responsible for this change in policy.
There were a lot of earthly fingers in this unholy pie, but ultimately the same devil.
But yes I hope the Mormon participation in it might serve as an alert to Mormons who are serious about God, that there’s a spirit here they don’t want. And either try to drive it out of their organization (a kind of Mormon Wittenberg Door) or go elsewhere to worship where it isn’t present.
Another thing might be a parental siege of the leadership to fix the error. BSA was viable with a DADT policy. Gay will pick it to pieces.

“. . .Spot on! You made a major contribution.”
To what?the inevitable eventual anti Catholic hatred on FR?
Take a lesson from the French marching in the hundreds of thousands against this cultural travesty. Do that and then see if you can come back against the church. You couldn’t because you would meet thousands of practicing knowledgeable Catholics.
Read the encyclicals, “Human Sexuality and Marriage”, and “Humanae Vitae”, both written by Popes and their staffs and both are post Vatican II, whatever that means to you. They both renounce the rampant illicit sexual mores and both are prophetic in their findings and are both, along with all Catholic teaching, charitable but firm in denunciation of practicing the act of homosexuality.
What do you want, Pope Francis to goose step and others to line up and scream?
It’s up to people to get these things done. We are a government by the people. If we don’t want big government nor interference by churches, or institutions that call themselves churches but aren’t, then we have to do something. Now you want the Church to do something? They’ve said the practice of homosexuality is bad and evil. So read that and go out and stop the open practice of homosexuality. But keep your hatred of the Church out of this.
Or read about what you are criticizing.
There is NOTHING in the Catholic Church which promotes homosexuality.
