I am guessing given the Catholic Church’s awful track record in that regard, my parish is going to drop it’s relationship with the local troop faster than you can say Tort Bar.

It seems Mormons are going beyond plural marriages and are now condoning faggotry.

That’ll last until the first homoscout can get to a courthouse.

Exactly.

Good luck with that Mormon church.

The suits will fly fast and furious the first time you try that tactic.

We already have AWANAS and they will probably replace BSA

How right you are.

No organization should assume the liability of hiring or volunteering any queer with the authority over children under the age of 18.

It’s too risky no matter how you slice it.

Forgive me if I have so little certainty that the leadership of the RCC in America has such devotion to their faith.

The silly allowance for Scout units to exclude homosexual leaders is untenable because they are already required to accept self-proclaimed homosexual scouts. What happens when an active Scout reaches the magic age of adulthood, 18? I'll let you decide if he can be suddenly expelled from a troop he has been a part of his whole adolescent life.

Drop any and all support for BSA. It’s just another corrupted progressive tool.

They put me through a gauntlet of security background checks and sexual abuse awareness training. And I’m just a usher. My interaction with children is comprised of pointing a finger in the direction of the bathroom.

“...to help churches and ministries better prepare for potential lawsuits as a result of the Supreme Court ruling on marriage.”

What the ruling did was create a government
sanction on a filthy perversion and made it a right. A
right that you will accept whether you like it or not.

But you KNOW the B-f-SA is lining up their attorneys to sue the crap out of any church who throws them out on the streets.

What a slippery slope Christian churches are in right now.

Churches are already in trouble because because they won’t endorse homosexuality, so they soon will lose their tax-exempt status. This will lead to the collapse of mainstream religion, all because not of just five SC justices — but only two, Kagan and Ginsberg — who refused to recuse themselves after performing homosexual marriage ceremonies, a clear conflict of interest. The decision would have been 4-3 against if it weren’t for them.

But at least the loss of tax exemption status for churches isn’t voluntary, like the BSA debacle. The Supreme Court upheld the BSA’s right to exclude homosexuals and atheists in the 2000 decision BSA vs. Dale. The decision confirmed a private organization’s right to free association among its membership.

This BSA decisions, both homosexual membership and then the inevitable leadership, were unforced errors.

As far as I know the Boy Scout motto, creed (in the scout handbook), and oath have not been changed yet, but that must come soon. Remove references to G-d perhaps, possibly insert value-neutral references to sodomy, etc.

And as an Eagle I have disassociated myself with the BSA (I used to contribute). I am still proud to have done it but that was under the old rules.

I would say it does put churches on the hook. Even though they may not be involved in the inner workings of the organization, they allow a group to use their building. They know what they allow, they choose to let in the sodomites, they will reap the reward of doing so.

Yes, that’s the same in our church. But now SCROTUS has forced the hand of religious institutions, saying “you can’t discriminate against butt-plugging faggots”. Now many of these background checks and trainings will be considered “illegal” as they “offend the freaks”.

Wise up Churches. God gave you a brain for a reason.

Lose the Boy Scouts. You should consider them radioactive, and so should parents, but that’s another story.

And that includes the Knights of Columbus too.
