CHURCH REVERSES ITSELF ON COVINGTON AFTER FAKE NEWS EXPOSED

     Shortly after the phony 'Covington Incident' was fanned across the Media, the Catholic Church spoke out and condemned the actions of the young men involved in the fracas. But thanks to others who unmasked the media deception, over 27,000 Catholics petitioned the Covington Diocese to reconsider its position. Yesterday, the Covington students saw justice done. 

   Bishop Roger Foys issued the following statement:

    “We are sorry that this situation has caused such disruption in the lives of so many. We apologize to anyone who has been offended in any way by either of our statements which were made with good will based on the information we had. We should not have allowed ourselves to be bullied and pressured into making a statement prematurely, and we take full responsibility for it.

    “I especially apologize to Nicholas Sandmann and his family as well as to all CovCath families who have felt abandoned during this ordeal. Nicholas unfortunately has become the face of these allegations based on video clips. This is not fair. It is not just.”

     That apology was a truly Christian act. Like many others, His Eminence was imposed upon by knaves who were seeking to sow political and social disruption by sacrificing some innocent young men. The Bishop, however, had courage enough to admit it. 

     Bishop Foys also stated his support for Covington Principal Robert Rowe, who "has also been a target of this venom." the letter said. 

      The Bishop also alludes to something else, which doesn't seem to have gotten quite as much public attention as it should: "There have been death threats made against some of the students and their families. The vitriol and hateful comments on some online stories, some of them appearing on websites that purport to be Catholic and pro-life, have been beyond belief and anything but pro-life. We even had a bomb scare at the Curia and had to close down briefly in light of safety issues."

      Death-threats against families and threats to bomb churches: any of that appear in your newsfeeds? Mine neither. Catholics should remember though that the vitriol and hate spewed by "those not at all familiar with Covington High School" will translated into action if the Whacko Left gains the power to do it. And not only will the Left not apologize for it; they won't restrict their unreasoning outrage to Catholic Churches and schools either.
