Bishop Roger Joseph Foys of the Diocese of Covington apologized to Catholic families and the teens who were confronted by a Native American elder and then wrongly accused of racism, saying he was "bullied and pressured" into making a premature statement.

If he WAS bullied maybe he needs to go to Amazon and order “Foxe’s Book Of Martyrs” to learn what real Christians do when faced with actual persecution.

Sounds like a good read. I'm going to look for that on my next order.

This guy is coming across as being as much a true Christian as Pope Francis is.

The A hole is a Bishop! Bullied??? Cmon!!!!!

[sparklite2]

Anyone over the age of 18 claiming they are bullied into making bad decisions is a juvenile whiner.

I agree you can bet that the CC is on the wrong side of every issue.Doomed.

Then resign you cowardly fool! You are weak!

By whom?

I suspect he was bullied into issuing this apology — by wealthy Catholics who keep him in business.

[Alberta's Child]

There is a groundswell of grassroots support for traditional Catholic groups like the Society of St. Pius X and the Institute of Christ the King. All of these groups are opening new churches and seminaries even as diocesan schools and parishes are closing all over the country.

These people don't bother "taking back their church" because they've already written their local bishops off as heretics and predatory homosexuals.

“There are many Catholics who are saying things about the current “Pope” and his cronies that they themselves never thought they would ever say but feel obligated to speak out.”

Talk is cheap! If you believe in your Church, it needs to be more than just talk. Don’t let this BS about “divine guidance” at the Vatican keep you from throwing out the trash.

“I suspect he was bullied into issuing this apology — by wealthy Catholics who keep him in business.”

So the Catholic Church kowtows to the US Chamber of Communists too!

This cuck can’t seem to find a testicle.

When your organization if filled with sissies (and I mean light in the loafer types) doesn’t take much to make them cave.

Anyone with two neurons working should have INSTANTLY refused to condemn these kids based on the original video, it showed NOTHING other than a man beating a drum in a kids face... that’s it...

Fact NO ONE waited to find out more before reacting shows you how stupid the majority of people are.

[vette6387]

Well that's gratifying news! Bypass the hierarchy to reform your Church. Just like Trump is trying to do with the Republicans.

[Jaded]

And that Jesuit.

[onedoug]

Bullied by whom?

This bishop’s a sniveling coward.

[gcparent]

Bishop Foy needs an exorcism. Evil.

[bagster]

Seriously?

No.
