(i.e., discriminating against non-cis, non-straight human beings)

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 archdioceses 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 archbishops column came in response to the Boy Scouts of Americas decision in January to allow transgender scouts biological girls who identify as boys as well as the organizations 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.

(233 posts)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.

Allow kids to be who they want to be and feel they are normal human beings... go directly to hell.
