These bishops should be horse-whipped for throwing these young teens under the bus. Cowardly, grand standing bastards. And he actually said he was ashamed of the kids. For what!?! He doesn't even have the balls to say what he thinks the kids wrong did other than wear MAGA hats.


quote:

Lexington’s Catholic bishop, John Stowe, in an op-ed Wednesday night said he is “ashamed” that the actions of Kentucky Catholic school students in D.C. last week are tainting the antiabortion movement and said wearing attire representing President Trump is incongruous with the “pro-life” label.

Stowe’s comments, in the Lexington Herald-Leader, were the third condemnation by a Kentucky Catholic bishop of the teens' behavior. There are four dioceses in the state. Comments by Kentucky’s Catholic leaders have been evolving since Saturday, when tense interactions at the Lincoln Memorial involving the boys, some of whom wore Make America Great Again caps, exploded on social media. Initial condemnations have been supplemented in a few cases with calls for a search for truth and healing.

“I am ashamed that the actions of Kentucky Catholic high school students have become a contradiction of the very reverence for human life that the march is supposed to manifest. As such, I believe that U.S. Catholics must take a look at how our support of the fundamental right to life has become separated from the even more basic truth of the dignity of each human person,” Stowe wrote. “Without engaging the discussion about the context of the viral video or placing the blame entirely on these adolescents, it astonishes me that any students participating in a pro-life activity on behalf of their school and their Catholic faith could be wearing apparel sporting the slogans of a president who denigrates the lives of immigrants, refugees and people from countries that he describes with indecent words and haphazardly endangers with life-threatening policies

Lexington is a super liberal enclave in Kentucky. It's like a mini Austin. His congregation definitely supports him on this, and I guarantee you that they have "Refugees Welcome" and BLM shite outside their church.

This is such absolute lies and propagandized nonsense.

Letting the people in their supervision fall on the sword for acceptance by the leftist in this land. Shame on them and let them do that which is obvious and denounce them selves as servants of the Lord Jesus.

One more example of why I am so damn glad not to be Catholic. I know there are a lot of good Catholics, but the leadership is infested with creeps and Alt-Left loons.

By now, no reasonable person thinks those kids did anything wrong. Damn.

frick that guy.

This is the sort of liberal bullshite that has infected the Catholic Church under the "social justice" mantle.

And the Catholic Church wonders why people are leaving or just no longer attending Mass.

Crap like this is why Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door of All Saints Church and started the Protestant reformation

The Bishop is the representative of Jesus Christ on earth and as a practicing Catholic I respect that. He is also a man and in that capacity I say frick him and the horse he rode in on.

He should be ashamed for leaving those kids without proper supervision.

I bet If these same teens had on rainbow hats and were gay, the Catholic Church and the media would be saying how brave they were standing firm in the face of taunting.

You are getting there Revelator.


Does any one see that this man confronted children from the Catholic school and also confronted the Catholic church. I see an agenda from this persons. Similar to the left and the media I also believe to be true.

Do a quick search to see if these bishops are Jesuits.
