Scouts: When will the church get it right?

The Archdiocese (TNT, 2-26) of St. Louis is warning parishioners to avoid Girl Scouts as the group reportedly supports transgender rights, homosexuality and other stances (birth control perhaps?) at odds with Catholic values.

In the same edition, it was noted in “Today in History“ that in 1616 Roman Inquisition Cardinal Robert Bellarmine ordered Galileo to abandon his “heretical” concept that the Earth revolved around the sun (instead of the other way around).

When will the Catholic Church finally get it right?
