It’s always about the money

Of course, the church is against Anishnawbes....good ole days...it’s fucken 2019!

Wack.

Maybe so. But you should have spoke-up and out about the sexual abuse cases against minors that have plagued the entire catholic enclave.

Kids didn’t do anything wrong. Hope all the liberal media that spread that edited down clip with the full spin narrative of lies get sued for millions. Kids will all enjoy new Mansions.

'I am on your side... forget that God and Jesus thing bro... I am on your side.'

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Ijs

Just can’t identify the humility in seeking God with fancy clothes. A wrong message from the start.

How about”what can we learn about this situation instead declaring right or wrong? God is the only one who can look in our heart.

Seems like some things never change

Wow! Wonder why Catholic church’s are less full? Crap like this!!! If you found nothing wrong with the actions of your students and the adults that were responsible for them you are EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THECHURCH. Student, had not made his choices!!!!!

Then reflect, please, about the justification of Covington students using “black face” as school spirit.

Exactly what should be expected of Catholics

The church has become super savvy at PR and coverups. PS. Tax all churches.

Exactly why I’ll never go back to Church! False prophets 🙄

“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,'....very unfortunate that learned vicars of the church would fall hook, line, & sinker for the already known Fake News media.

Says the local representative for the most immoral misogynistic pedophilic organisation on the planet, the Catholic Church, which wont give women equality of opportunity or even control over their own bodies.

The Bishop can start by eradicating racism from the catholic church, and put some space between catholic and white supremacists.🌷

A good leader would have said (something like): What have you learned? What could have been done differently What concerns do you have? Etc. perhaps that was done...then apologies noted!

Hopefully these kids and their families will have huge financial gains from the slander perpetrated by the news media and celebrities.

Students were victims of profiling & a rush to judgement that was fueled by media hype. When students needed pastoral support the most they were abandoned by their bishop & other Church organizations. Sad! CovingtonBoysVindicated USCCB

Oh the catholic bishop is on their side. That carries a lot of credibility these days

Oh dear.

Is you know the rise of Adolf Hitler, and study it, the Catholic Church was always there.

Seriously, there is a Catholic priest joke there, but I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole.

Hey nice funny suit u wearing. U one of the guys with yr hands in the boys pants. ? Or r u a good guy. Impossible to tell

Why were they wearing MAGA caps? It's the modern day, I Am Racist calling card. This Catholic school needs to put away the PR firm, and do some serious soul searching.

Shame on you Bishop....

Clueless.

Never trust the liberal media. They despise Catholics, Trump, the unborn, and objective journalism

Horrible, the Catholic Church ignores far too much, like the pedophiles that prevailed for decades.. They are ignoring those racist kids, who will grow up like Kavanaugh, untouchable no matter what they do..

Money talks, the Bishop and Catholic Church can be bought.

He just letting them know he is their guiding force in hate, evil, and fear. And they wonder why people don’t fuck with religion anymore.

So parents keep sending your tuition checks, it’s all good!

The teens showed less aggression and more restraint than any adult men I know, including myself

Catholics eating their own again....

Something positive!!

shame.

God, I’m glad I’m not Catholic anymore! The Catholic Church is misogynistic & ran by white men who have never cared about anyone other than themselves! Religion is a fraud !

This is just sad because it’s nearly an endorsement of their poor behavior.

It's about time.

If you want to be seen in a positive light, then don’t have catholic priest stand up for you and don’t act like an ass even if the Black Israelites and the Native Americans are. Don’t sink to the level of the groups around you, any of them.

A positive light? Smug, spoiled brats? Don't think so.

Where was this guy last week when everything was hitting the fan? CovingtonCatholic

Uhh. They were still very disrespectful.

On the side of bigotry got it.

What happened Bishop? One of your donors threaten to pull their $$ if you didn't change your tune.

I blame the chaperones that didn’t take the students away. This could have gone very wrong very quickly.

He is as bad as the rest quick to judgement clowns , sad

The Bishop! Who puts much faith in them with the scandals rocking the world, they backed I suppose the mass extermination of Native-Americans and approve that ignorant smirk on the face of the poor white student.

They are just trying to have more students become lying Supreme Court justices. Kavanaugh RespectMustBeModeled/earned.

Ridiculous! Catholicism will pass into oblivion soon anyway! Irrelavent religion!

A little late

Holy shit

Spoken like a person that has protected pedophiles before.

Next stòry will be how he raped some kids at that school it's ok though church has deep pockets

CHECK his background...he is swampy...

Well, then. The bishop has some work to do if he wants the CovingtonCatholic boys 'to come out of this in a positive light.'

This is sad. The church is suppose to help with healing. Jesus talks about love, acceptance; not protest women's reproductive rights. It looks like the diocese has pressure from his big donors to overlook bad behavior. He should set a good example or be excommunicated.

No matter what title you hold, No matter what robes you wear No matter what scepter you hold up, Your bigotry still smells the same... ROTTEN

Did we expect anything else? This is a “religion” where they routinely condone, hide, and facilitate the rape of young boys entrusted to them! At this point I’m convinced they are so against abortion because it leaves less young boys to molest!!

Said the member of an organization that enables pedophiles.

i.e. Just go away.

The bigoted religious leader who prevented a gay validictorian from speaking at his graduation.

Too little too late, open up the checkbook Padre!!! these white kids is going to Yale on you

What he meant was oh I was not aware you were at an anti abortion rally! That's all that really matters my son

Hypocrites. Virtually everyone in politics, news media and especially the Church. All should be very ashamed of their treatment if those boys.

Translation: We have enough bad stuff going on when it comes to the Church and kids, we don't need this

good thing I stopped being catholic.. this is ridiculous!

Ummm what?
