LOUISVILLE, KY, August 18, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- The Archdiocese of Louisville has rejected a homosexual man’s application to be a Boy Scout leader, the first reported diocese to do so after the national organization opted to allow gay leaders, resulting in threats of public protests.

Greg Bourke reapplied to lead Boy Scout Troop 325 in his home parish of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Louisville where he’d been required to resign in 2012 after announcing his sexual orientation, according to Religion News Service, but was informed early this month his application was denied.

“My heart is broken that my church would now present the barrier to my returning to my Boy Scout unit,” Bourke said.

Bourke, who along with his partner were among the plaintiffs in the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing homosexual “marriage” across the U.S., said he doesn’t have any legal recourse to contest the archdiocese’s denial of his application, according to Insider Louisville, but implied he would publicly hold Archbishop Joseph Kurtz responsible.

REMNANT COMMENT: Good for Louisville, and now let's see what happens. These intolerant haters of the Catholic Church are not going away. Their job is to push the envelope where the Church's moral teaching is concerned and, before they're through, they'll likely be demanding we all engage in homosexual acts personally in order to prove we bless and approve every aspect of their "lifestyle".  Hyperbole? Really? Isn't that exactly what they did to the early Christian martyrs, force them to burn incense to their pagan gods or be fed to the lions? Well, the pagan pantheon of our day includes the great god of sexual license, and we will burn incense before the God Sodomy… or die!

Welcome to the New World Order where everything is tolerated except what’s not, and what’s not is everything Catholics believe for which, by the way, we must be willing to die rather than deny.

Please Help The Remnant Stay in the Fight!
