MGB:_This kind of idiocy shows why the title of Bishop carries with it no infallibility. This particular Ordinary is the most ordinary of them all. He is a right wing idiot who is pandering to himself because I doubt anyone else cares. Being an adult GS leader is hard enough without inane comments from the cheap seats. I feel sorry for the girls, although most troops will likely just move to another sympathetic venue. Catholic separatism is no longer so important that Catholic girls need to to troops in the parish. I really feel for the adult leaders who feel morally conflicted about this. They should not. Their bishop is a horse’s behind.
As for LGBT rights, recent court decisions are treating gays as a protected class and applying employment law on that base. If the bishops want to manage this, they need to get ENDA passed with some kind of exemption for ministry or the courts will enact a larger policy that will allow less elbow room. As for contraception, they are simply wrong. In the face of natural law evidence going the other way, they pulled the authority card. Their arguments have zero merit. It is no shock they are oppositional. That is what you do when you are wrong.
MSW is correct in quoting Francis that God does not need us to protect Him. Hopefully God will protect us from His bishops. Francis has his hands full with Kansas City.
