ZitatThe Mormon church announced Tuesday it will sever a more than century-old tie with the Boy Scouts of America and transfer its remaining 425,000 boys in the program into a gospel-focused youth group it is developing.
The church’s announcement follows the Boy Scouts’ unprecedented decision in 2015 to allow gay troop leaders and last year, to allow girls in its ranks – both seemingly at odds with the conservative beliefs of the Mormon church.
Not really surprising. Years ago the Mormons developed its own program for the young women of the church (rather than put up with the nonsense that is today's Girl Scouts). Now if the Catholic Church shows the same spine (not likely), the BSA, oops, the SA will be crippled.

For the Catholic Church to show some spine, somebody other than Pope Franny would have to be sitting on St. Peter's throne.
