The Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School have issued the following statement: We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18, after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C. We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips. This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person.
The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.
We know this incident also has tainted the entire witness of the March for Life and express our most sincere apologies to all those who attended the March and all those who support the pro-life movement.
What actions? Did they condemn the actions of the child molesting priests?
It might sound less precipitous if they even mentioned what behavior they condemned. The way it’s put, it sounds like the verdict first, then the trial.
It might be the Smirk (tm) — but there was a boat load of apparently false accusations on the other side too. To draw a false accusation should hardly call for a Christian reprimand.
While the WALLED IN Vatican continues to cover for pervy priests who get on their knees between the “hims”.
I think that this is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction as well. Let’s give a bit of time here and see what happens.
AFAIK the diocese has not commented on the extended version of events, nor will they with lawsuits against them for defamation pending.
It is unfortunate that the leadership at the Diocese and the High School have revealed that they are spineless fools that deserve to be thrown out on their butts.
They are getting buried.
This is what is at https://www.covdio.org/ now:
Concerning the incident in Washington, D.C., between Covington Catholic students, Elder Nathan Phillips and Black Hebrew Israelites the independent, third-party investigation is planned to begin this week. This is a very serious matter that has already permanently altered the lives of many people. It is important for us to gather the facts that will allow us to determine what corrective actions, if any, are appropriate.
We pray that we may come to the truth and that this unfortunate situation may be resolved peacefully and amicably and ask others to join us in this prayer.
We will have no further statements until the investigation is complete.
The pope is trying to get his flock back by protecting sexual predators, espousing the world over spiritual values, and accepting liberalism in all its glory? Hmmm. Perversion has overtaken Providence in the Church.

They can shove the collection plate.....
I bet these idiots are also supporters of the usurper Anti-Pope named Francis
Many Catholic schools have been closing,all over this nation, due to the fact that 1) people are having fewer children 2) costs have risen 3)dissatisfaction with the policies of the church and several other reasons. Now? Now parents will fear sending their kids to these schools because of the actions and words of this diocese!
FYI the March For Life(Twitter account) denounced the kids very quickly. They later amended it to say they would wait for more facts(well after the exonorating video was available) but refused to apologize for immediately assuming the kids were in the wrong.
The kids were there in the first place SUPPORTING THEIR MISSION!
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.

If they are like our diocese, they hate Donald Trump. They wanted SJW, abortion-loving Hillary. I’ll never understand their reasoning.
American Thinker’s article was spot on — until he brought up the Philly Starbucks story. He has that one wrong. Those customers were in the right.
But, he’s correct about the Covington Catholic story.
