Edit: while the USCCB, and its constellation of cockroaches, brood parasites and hyenas, have issued its usual mealy-mouthed statement on issues of the day, other organizations have been less compromising. As Stella Borealis reports, at least
one parish. St. Agnes, in St. Paul, Minnesota has made a rather unequivocal statement and disolved its association with the Boy Scouts of America. Here's what Father Mark Moriarty
said, citing a need to protect the innocence of children:
The Boy Scouts of America National Council recently voted to approve a resolution to change the membership policy: “No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone. “
After discussing the unfortunate state of affairs with the leadership of Troop 592 and Pack 592, as head of the chartering institution, I have decided to withdraw the sponsorship role of Saint Agnes.
The Troop and Pack leadership have, in turn, decided to dissolve their association with the BSA. The last 592 Troop and Pack meeting will take place on Monday, June 10th. At that gathering we will have an official striking of the Troop and Pack flags, which will then be placed in the parish archives in the hopes that they may someday be used again in more favorable circumstances.
Michael Voris is one of the few Catholic bloggers to have addressed the issue.
