Dedicated to the Restoration of a Catholic Identity

One very nice aspect of the Girl Scouts -- which are often tied in with Catholic parishes -- is that they expose children to other religions by having them attend myriad services. (I think it is in order to get a badge.) .... This sort of exposure helps kids -- and adults -- learn to get along with others, even though they may not agree with their religious beliefs.
