Catholics in America suffered yet another round of humiliation this past weekend when the Diocese of Covington, Kentucky, caved into mob pressure by maligning a group of innocent high schoolers based on a viral video taken wildly out of context.
"We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18, after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C.," said the office of Bishop Robert Foys in a statement on Saturday. "We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips. This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person."
The statement condemning a group of minors to a life of ruin at the hands of an SJW mob remained on the Covington archdiocese's website well into Monday, even after evidence increasingly showed that the boys were not bullying a Native American protester and were in fact victims of racial harassment.
Rather than apologize to the students who will now have to walk with a scarlet letter across their chest for years to come, the Covington Diocese issued an "update" on Tuesday, saying a "third-party investigation" is underway to determine if any "corrective action" should be taken.
"Concerning the incident in Washington, D.C., between Covington Catholic students, Elder Nathan Phillips and Black Hebrew Israelites the independent, third-party investigation is planned to begin this week. This is a very serious matter that has already permanently altered the lives of many people. It is important for us to gather the facts that will allow us to determine what corrective actions, if any, are appropriate," the January 22 statement read, according to LifeSiteNews.
"We pray that we may come to the truth and that this unfortunate situation may be resolved peacefully and amicably and ask others to join us in this prayer."
The Covington Diocese issued this horrifically disgusting statement of moral abdication even as multiple pundits, journalists, and celebrities have issued apologies of their own for jumping to conclusions too soon. In the wake of this disgrace, members of the Covington Catholic community have been excoriating the diocese for shamelessly throwing these boys under the bus. LifeSiteNews has more:

Awful quick to attack the kids.... Meanwhile, still covering up for pedophile priests. Makes me super proud to be Catholic.
ReplyDeleteBishop Robert Foys is just like most ultra liberals in that his hatred of conservatives and specifically of President Trump has blinded him and stripped him of any ability to admit that he just might be wrong.

ReplyDeleteThe bishop needs to revisit the Commandments, and retrace his steps, with a sincere apology to the students, their parents and the community. Their lawyer can include him on the list, too.
Time to man up and admit you where wrong. The boys did nothing wrong it was the Satan
ReplyDeletecontrolled main stream medias who is to blame.
Not the only dioceses or school in the area. As ALWAYS. Once the money STOPS. Heads will roll.
ReplyDeleteso tired of these so called priests and poope who have no concern for their flocks! I go to Mass for one reason and one reason only. To receive the body of Christ.
