Jerry Falwell Jr. took an indefinite leave of absence Friday as the leader of Liberty University, one of the nation's top evangelical Christian colleges, days after apologizing for a social media post that caused an uproar even among fellow conservatives.

The private university in Lynchburg, Virginia, gave no reason for Falwell's departure in a one-sentence announcement Friday afternoon. But it came after Falwell's apology earlier this week for a since-deleted photo he posted online showing him with his pants unzipped, stomach exposed and his arm around a young woman in a similar pose.

He did not immediately return a call seeking comment. University spokesman Scott Lamb said he had no further comment. He said the woman -- who also had her midriff exposed -- was pregnant, couldn't get her pants zipped and he imitated her, saying it was all in "good fun." Besides Walker, some pastors who graduated from Liberty spoke out this week calling for a change in leadership at the school. Mark Davis, a Texas-based pastor, tweeted that "the name of Christ and the reputation of Liberty will continue to be dishonoured" without action against Falwell by the board.

In recent years, Liberty has served as a regular speaking spot for ambitious Republicans courting the young evangelical vote. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz kicked off a presidential campaign there in 2015. Last year, he settled a federal lawsuit in Florida over a real estate venture that involved a young Miami pool attendant, a case that drew national attention.

Lets get this straight these huslers preach about God and humility and decency and putt anyone down showing more than ankle. The isdue is not the Photo but the fact all that money these idiot give to this F wad didnt go to God it went to him owning a yaht how deos that help God

It seems that many “highly regarded evangelicals “ are often found out as morally abject....biggest hypocrites...🙄🤔

But Joe Biden gets a pass right

Hey CTV did you HEAR about JOE BIDEN SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE and did you HEAR about JOE BIDEN telling BLACKS that if they VOTE Trump then they AIN'T BLACK, and did your hear about Joe BIDEN saying latino communities are more diverse then BLACK communities..

Pulling your pants down is in the Bible

Birds of a feather.

Of course and Biden just said blacks aren't as diverse a race comparing them Latinos and where is that report¿ BreakingFakeCTVNews NoNews=FakeNews

Do what I say,,,not what I do. Religion is the biggest farce in society today. The sheep in church are dumber than the sheep on the farm.

Lol word association is where they're at. Clowns

Wheres CTV on this? Fake news.

No question why American Christians endorse trump.

Meanwhile, Biden cannot even speak a full sentence. But let’s focus on Trump eh CTV fake news?

This story has nothing to do with Trump. But CTV tries to stain Trump by throwing his name in the headline. Pure GARBAGE.

Just waiting for him to go on TV and start crying like his dad. Gotta love these right wing religious wacos.
