Catholic Bishops' Newest Target: Girl Scouts of America

The nation's cutest cookie pushers are the subject of an "official
inquiry" by the bishops' Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and
Youth.
.
The Little Rascals had the "He-Man Woman Haters Club." We've got The
Catholic Church.
.
Just a few weeks after the Vatican started looking into the activities of
the umbrella group representing some 57,000 American nuns, the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) showed it had smaller fish to fry:
The Girl Scouts of America (GSA).
.
The nation's cutest cookie pushers are the subject of an "official
inquiry" by the bishops' Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and
Youth, according to National Public Radio.
.
The bishops are suspicious of some of the scouts' program materials, and
relationships with groups that conflict with church teaching. (The Girl
Scouts are a secular group, but many troops are church-based.)
.
The USCCB doesn't like that the Girl Scouts have connected with groups
like Doctors Without Borders, the Sierra Club and Oxfam International,
because they support family planning and emergency contraception, the
report said.
.
It doesn't like that the Girl Scouts belong to the 145-nation World
Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, which supports girls and women
having "an environment where they can freely and openly discuss issues of
sex and sexuality."
.
It doesn't like that one troop in Colorado welcomed a transgender Scout.
.
snip
.
That's rich: U.S. bishops getting so uptight about sex, when in 2004, a
survey by the John Jay School of Criminal Justice found that 4,392
American priests were alleged to have sexually abused young people in
their pastoral care.
.
Where was the outrage and inquiry then? Why weren't they as suspicious
then as they are now?
.
If the bishops order Catholic girls to leave the Scouts, it could fold the
organization's tent for good. Membership already has been dropping off,
and the Girl Scouts estimate that one-fourth of their 2.3 million members
are Catholic.
.
What a nice way to mark the Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary: Make them part
of the continuing War on Women.
