It's that time of year again.
Girls Scouts all over the country are tempting us with our favorites.

But not if you're Catholic and living in St. Louis.

Archbishop Carlson wrote,“Girl Scouts is exhibiting a troubling pattern of behavior and it is clear to me that as they move in the ways of the world it is becoming increasingly incompatible with our Catholic values. We must stop and ask ourselves — is Girl Scouts concerned with the total well-being of our young women? Does it do a good job forming the spiritual, emotional, and personal well-being of Catholic girls?

Therefore, I am asking each pastor that allows Girl Scouts on parish property to conduct a meeting with troop leadership to review these concerns and discuss implementing alternative options for the formation of our girls. Our primary obligation is to help our girls grow as women of God. Several alternative Catholic or Christian organizations exist and I ask that you offer one of these programs instead of Girl Scouts.”

I think Pope Francis needs to hear about this.
