Pope Smacks Down Girl Scout Leaders Over Gender Issues
breitbart.com ^ | july 2, 2015 | Austin Ruse

As the Girl Scouts USA continues to hemorrhage members and money because of its continued support of what many see as extreme ideological ideas, Girl Scout leaders from around the world converged on the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis, only to receive a gentle but firm scolding on gender ideology.

The optics were clear. The group, which has staked out positions in opposition to Christian teaching on abortion and human sexuality, met with Francis hoping the thousands of daughters and moms exiting Scouting would have a second thought.

Pictures of Girl Scouts USA CEO Anna Marie Chavez shaking hands with a smiling Pope were quickly added to the Girl Scout website. A statement issued as the trip to Rome began extolled the Girl Scouts’ ongoing commitment to faith. GSUSA National President Kathy Hopinkah Hannah said, “At Girl Scouts, faith unifies us and inspires us…”

Critics are not so sure. The exodus from Girl Scouting began years ago when they made God optional in their pledge. At that time an overtly Christian group called American Heritage Girls was formed and has grown by leaps and bounds as the Girl Scout membership continued to shrink.

Leftist weasels contaminate and politicize everything. They don’t have real jobs and families so they have a lot of time to infiltrate and pervert every non profit org they can find.

It’s hard walking past the many girl scout cookie tables and turning down their request to buy cookies, but there is no way I am funding their agenda.

“I don’t think the GS are losing money”

Cookiecott worked quite well. A lot of people quite buying them and will tell them why.

Plus you can buy same cookies cheaper all year round at Dollar General under the name “Clover Valley”. I’m sure other stores carry something like it if Dollar General has that.

I’m sure the dykes at GSA give a rip what the pope says.

My daughter was in the Girl “Scouts” maybe 15 years ago. I have the word “Scouts” in quotes because it had zero to do with scouting. One meeting dealt with how to apply make up. Other meeting focused on lame arts & crafts. It was a small, sad group compared to the Boy Scouts.

These days, the single activity that defines them is the selling of cookies. Take that away and they are defunct.

**In recent years, in fact, the Girl Scouts USA have plunged pell-mell into what the Pope has repeatedly referred to as “gender ideology.” Besides being cozy with abortion advocates, the Girl Scouts now openly promote the LGBT agenda. What more, they now accept boys cross-dressing as girls.**

There is a hot link to further discussion in the original article.

It’s been very easy for decades to walk past them. Their cookies have always been far too expensive and now days I don’t agree with their lack of principles.

This action by the Pope is unexpected news to me. If you look at his other rantings, I thought he would endorse these perversions.

This Pope cant seem to make up his mind, one day he appears to celebrate abortion and homosexuality and spitting on Christ, then the next day he isn`t sure if cross dressing is ok or not?

If you swallow the Media spin, you end up with your insides churning. Be careful not to do that.
