Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila of Denver has announced that parishes in his diocese may continue to charter Boy Scout troops, as long as they follow requirements to ensure that Catholic identity and teaching are upheld.

In his latest column in the Denver Catholic, the archbishop said that individual pastors may continue allowing their parishes to charter a scouting troop, as long as they meet the guidelines laid out by the archdiocese’s code of conduct. Leaders and members should support the Catholic Church and her teachings; refrain from approving or engaging in conduct that contradicts Catholic doctrine or morals; and promote and respect the dignity of the human person and human sexuality according to natural law and Catholic teaching.

The archbishop’s column came in response to the Boy Scouts of America’s decision in January to allow transgender scouts – biological girls who identify as boys – as well as the organization’s decisions in 2013 and 2015 to allow openly gay members and leaders, respectively.

“These decisions are social experiments that are rationalized away without accounting for the impact on the clear majority of boys who do not have gender dysphoria or same-sex attraction,” the archbishop said. “Indeed, it is not hard to see that there will be lasting consequences for current and future generations of American boys as they try to understand their own sexuality in their formative years.”

1. The archbishop regularly wears a dress at work...

and yet he complains about the Boy Scouts allowing gender dysphoria?

"“These decisions are social experiments that are rationalized away without accounting for the impact on the clear majority of boys who do not have gender dysphoria or same-sex attraction,” the archbishop said. “Indeed, it is not hard to see that there will be lasting consequences for current and future generations of American boys as they try to understand their own sexuality in their formative years.”"

2. The church doesn't exactly have a great reputation protecting

The interests of boys.

3. Keep the kiddy-rape enablers out of the boy-scouting business, please.

Thanks!

4. Another counterpoint to those that think this Pope is different.

We can have Boy Scouts, but not the gay things they just changed. That's right out.

Meet the new Pope; same as the old Pope.

5. There's a title that made me cough...

Rape kids and achieve a change of address and/or promotion.
Allow kids to be who they want to be and feel they are normal human beings... go directly to hell.

6. Keep giving 'em money, though. Pope Terrific's gonna change everything. You'll see.
