Another Archdiocese Of Washington Moral Failure?

First, ht to my colleague An Archdiocese of Washington DC Catholic.  I got the first hint from him.

If the Washington Post article is accurate (and I suspect that it is), then the Archdiocese of Washington is again capitulating to the gay cartel in the DC area.  As I think of it, this is no surprise given the way the archdiocese threw Father Marcel Guarnizo under the bus when he dared to act as a real Catholic priest a year ago this past Lent in not permitting a practicing lesbian to receive Holy Communion.

Rev. William Byrne, archdiocesan Secretary for Pastoral Ministry, is the one who allegedly stated that this new Scout policy of admitting openly gay youth does not violate Catholic teaching.  Father Byrne et al, if a boy proclaims his deviancy, he proclaims mortally sinful dissidence from Catholic teaching.  He most likely intends to pursue the sinful lifestyle, if in fact that isn't already happening.  Would you look the other way if a young man celebrated a tendency to kleptomania?  I hardly think so.  While you would encourage him to seek help, you would not allow him to influence other impressionable youth.  The only reason why you look the other way in the case of homosexuality is that you're afraid of that noisy cabal in the DC area - and perhaps that same cabal in the DC chancery.

Et Tu, Brute? Yes, The Boy Scouts Have Capitulated

Today in Texas, the Boy Scouts of America voted to allow gay youth into their ranks.  By "gay" we mean those who celebrate perverted inclinations.  The ban on gay leadership remains in place - for now.  I predict that will be a matter of time before that falls by the wayside.  Gay activists are calling it "a step in the right direction".  In reality, it's a step in the wrong direction.

Here's the Scout Oath: "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight."  Today the Scout leadership threw that oath into the trash.  No one can talk about "duty to God" and look the other way as members are disobeying God's most fundamental moral laws.  And how can "gay scouts" take an oath to be "morally straight" when to so many of them, "straight" is a characteristic that they regularly pillory?

The article predicts that many boys and their families will pull away from the scouts as a result of this deplorable kowtowing to political correctness.  I think whole troops will cease affiliation with the Boy Scouts, if not entire councils.  I certainly will have to reconsider some of my purchases from their fund-raisers in the future.
