While there are indications that the BSA has a religious organization exception, which each local troop could invoke, that will provide no protection for any of our parishes and/or schools, which sponsor troops.

...not to mention Scout camps and jamborees that involve the interaction of many troops and leaders from all over, and almost always involve overnight trips.

We know they are never satisfied with supposed "gains" they make. They always want to take it to the next level so I predict that the homos aren't just going to linger in the background quietly. As more and more parents refuse to put their boys in harms way and the membership shrinks, more and more homos will be encouraged to participate. They are going to turn BSA into a massive homo advocacy organization with merit badges for tolerance, so-called safe-sex, and every other unspeakable depravity.

Blessings for Bishop David Kagan!!!!

He listed alternatives at the end of his letter.

Third, I list here for your consideration acceptable alternatives for our Catholic children and youth, should you wish to offer this in your parish and/or school. There are two very good alternatives to the Girl Scouts of America. They are: American Heritage Girls (americanheritagegirls.org), which has a National Catholic Committee; Little Flowers’ Girls Clubs (eccehomopress.com); and Federation of North American Explorers (fneexplorers.com). There are three alternatives to the Boy Scouts of America, which are acceptable. They are: Federation of North American Explorers (fneexplorers.com); Columbian Squires (kofc.org/un/en/squires); and Trail Life USA (traillifeusa.com), which has a National Catholic Committee in Front Royal, VA.

Thanks for posting this. And thanks for the post.

Gratifying to see one Shepherd standing up. I am going to check on my diocese website, but I am not holding my breath.

BSA should change their name to Rump Scouts with merit badges in “gerbilling”, “fisting”, fudge-packing, golden showers, and semen swallowing.

A church leader who actually still leads.. Imagine that..

[samiam1972]

My 17 year old son is 5 badges and one project away from being an Eagle Scout. He has worked so hard over the years to accomplish this. It’s so frustrating!

Thank you!

"[T]he Boy Scouts of America voted to admit openly gay adults into the organization to hold leadership positions. While there are indications that the BSA has a religious organization exception, which each local troop could invoke, that will provide no protection for any of our parishes and/or schools, which sponsor troops. Thus, effective immediately, the Catholic Church of the Diocese of Bismarck and each and every one of its parishes, schools and other institutions, is formally disaffiliated with and from the Boy Scouts of America. If your parish sponsors a troop, your priest has been asked to inform those persons associated with the BSA of this action and to inform the BSA itself of this decision. I regret my decision but, in conscience as the Chief Shepherd of the Diocese of Bismarck, I cannot permit our Catholic institutions to accept and participate directly or indirectly in any organization, which has policies and methods, which contradict the authoritative moral teachings of the Catholic Church..." -Bishop David D. Kagan, 8-3-15

Excellent. The good Bishop has done the morally-right thing.
