I read yesterday that the Baptists are pulling out of the Scouts. The Scouts are dead.
Yep! I know alot of Catholics pulling their sons out of this organization, too. Very much a shame! But as someone pointed out above, this is the way a nation dies: assualt on the family unit.
The posting before this
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3026704/posts
had posted a link which had the chair on Catholic scouting agreeing with the BSA decision.
I urged some bishop disavow that decision and defund any BSA activity if the national council does not allow said bishop to set up his own council which does not permit this.
And if necessry do what the late Bishop Bernard Shields did in organizing the CYO in this case set up the CBSA Catholic Boy Scouts of America.
