we shouldn’t be surprised, the Catholic church and the Lutherans have been working against the interests of the people of the US for decades, by encouraging and supporting illegal immigration.

Oh, look at the picture. Smiles are relaxed and show teeth.

Of course you want to read harsh condemnation into everything.

Yes....but it’s most likely that the Bishop wants to be SURE that he is getting the all the facts. He could be a bit timid in that area....but still a good man. I don’t know much about him, but will try to find out more. And I know where to get good information as I am a practicing Catholic.

:-)

Let us all be patient and work with wisdom.

“We will have no further statements until the investigation is complete.”

If the Bishop had watched the Rams Saints game, would he have concluded from the whole video that the Rams committed pass interference?

Or does he need to investigate the game further?

I suggest a spiritual reset would be a great thing to have here. There’s no sin that cannot be pardoned except the sin that is never brought to the Lord to pardon at all. If there were fumbles? Set them right.

The entire thing didn’t get caught on camera in this case. What camera work there was, was unfriendly. It’s not like a fair video of a ball game.

Unlike you, you supercilious prig, I've seen the ENTIRE video, seen the two kids' video, one of whom was NOT even there, read the TWEETS from EVERYONE, read what the kid ( Sandman is his last name, which I doubt you even know !)said about his SMILING when confronted, and read all of the articles here, the links to other places, and newspaper articles about this, from this country and other nations.

UNLIKE YOU, I KNOW THE STORY FROM ALL SIDES!

And there is absolutely NOTHING whatsoever, in ANY version of the Bible, used by Christians and Jews, that says word one about "smirking"! OTOH...there IS a COMMANDMENT about bearing false witness"?, which you keep on breaking; diddums.

Re that smile...the kid was scared to death, he did his best to smile and to NOT look confrontational. What about THAT, is just far too difficult for YOU to understand?

cal·um·ny

The making of false and defamatory statements about someone in order to damage their reputation; slander.

March For Life(Twitter account) denounced the kids very quickly.

Glad to see someone bring that up.

These students were there supporting March for Life.
March of Life threw them under the bus.
Just like the high school and diocese.

Oh wow, you certainly know about being a supercilious prig. You’ve got an immense history of it, which I view your current statement in light (or maybe I should say darkness) of.

What got you into his head? Why are you so soft on the kid and so hard on others?

And by the way the bible does say do not gloat. Only a deliberate hard head would miss that.

No kidding, all these people criticizing a smirk. I saw a nervous smile/laugh as a bizarre situation unfolded. He wasn’t sure if the guy was in concert with the black hate group or if they were joining they’re group.

Philips is a coward. He was afraid to confront the black hate group and wanted to create a scene with the white MAGA hat crackers.

I haven’t checked recently if they apologized yet, but now its too late anyway. Window has closed.

Our institutions are really in shambles. It’s hard to know what to believe in.
I stopped financial contributions to the Church after realizing how much they supported the immigration. Sad.

There is a certain way that Christian pro-life / anti-abortion protesters are expected to act in the face of harassment. Is it as though this was the first time they ever got harassed? The way some people are carrying on, it sounds like it was. OMG we got surprised!

Please. It’s only going to get worse for the near future as the conflict ramps up. Jesus up, people.

If they are like our diocese, they hate Donald Trump. They wanted SJW, abortion-loving Hillary. I’ll never understand their reasoning.

‘a time when Christians are weak is a time when the devil will start in on them.’

SPOT ON!

The STOLEN VALOR liar/attention seeking, once drunken bum on the street ( I've read up on Phillips! ), would have scared anyone, especially a Junior in high school kid, with his menacing, out of the blue actions!

I bet anyone here ( all adults ), to try to smile in the face of this and see just how "authentic" a smile they could produce!

Mr. and Mrs. Sandman should be very proud of their son and how he handled himself in the face of such an ugly/frightening situation.
