. "At this time the Archdiocese of New Orleans will continue to charter units with the Boy Scouts of America and, in keeping with our right to religious liberty, work to ensure that the adult leaders in our units are role models in living our Catholic faith," he said.

Sounds like a reasonable statement. Let's hope they really stick to it.

Making statements and reality can be two different things.

“Sounds like a reasonable statement.”

Sorry, but he didn’t address how all Catholic boy scouts will still receive Nazi assistance training.

Obviously.

Time will tell, I suppose the mormons will stay as well until the heat from the homofascists gets too hot.

The HRC (Human Rights Campaign) released a statement almost immediately after the decision was announced stating the religious exemption the BSA permitted essentially undercuts the entire decision and they’re going to fight to get the exemption removed.

Keep in mind, the BSA has acted deceitfully in this matter both in 2013 and this year...I don’t trust them any longer and will no longer associate with them...they are an amoral organization and perfectly free to change their minds again when it suits them.

When the corporate pressure to remove the religious exemption becomes too much to bear, the BSA will cave...they have become a very secular organization.

Catholics and others should be looking for alternative organizations to place their youth in that are in keeping with their faith.

Louisiana in general and the New Orleans area in particular have a strong Catholic tradition. The boy scout troop affiliated with our local Catholic church is lead by married couples whose children participate. They do not support the homosexual agenda in any way, and there is absolutely no danger of homosexual troop leaders participating.

Of course, I wish they would drop the Boy Scouts and find a group that is not corrupt on the national level, but maybe these strong values-based troops will be able to turn the national organization around (I know, wishful thinking). I know our local boys are learning the values and skills that the original Boy Scouts was founded for, and I’d hate to see them lose that because of some crazy national policy.
