“We cannot uncritically ally ourselves with someone with whom we share the policy goal of ending abortion,” Stowe wrote. “The pro-life movement claims that it wants more than the policy change of making abortion illegal, but aims to make it unthinkable. That would require deep changes in society and policies that would support those who find it difficult to afford children. The association of our young people with racist acts and a politics of hate must also become unthinkable.”

He should be focusing on rooting out the pedophilia under his authority.
Now THAT is a true embarrassment

What a putrid man. He would have collaborated with Hitler to save his own skin.

For all the time the church complains about persecution, look at how they treat their own when just a little heat is turned on.

If he’s so concerned about keeping the anti-abortion movement going, he should get his ass to NY State, and protest at Governor Andy “Kermit Gosnell” Cuomo’s
office and home.

This is troubling...

Stowe is a cheerleader for gay rights. Evidently he’d like to spend a little time in private counseling with the racist boys from Covington Catholic.

Bishop Stowe,

You have no excuse for being unaware of the facts in this case, yet your response pretends you are. The student are INNOCENT of your charges against them! Are you forgetting the Commandment against bearing false witness?

The Covington Diocese “reputation” as preferring the liberal, “seamless garment” nonsense, to the Gospel of Life is well intact.

They have barred Pro-Life groups from Church Property.

It is clear that they hate Trump and the Red MAGA hats, more than they hate abortion.

They only like young boys for what they can get from them, not what they can do for them.

Let’s apologize for Catholicism because the Left hates it.

But its not going to win them over to the side of the Church when it denounces Big Bad Trump.

I understand the Christian imperative to love your enemies and pray for them.

Forgiveness though is uncalled for when you’ve done nothing wrong.

Did the good bishop also apologize for the way Catholic men stood in Nathan Phillips’ way again, the very next day, when he attempted to disrupt a Mass?

In other words the Bishops prefer to feed at the federal trough that pays them hansomely to “settle” criminal Illegal aliens and make sure the are fully “self reliant” living off all of this Country’s social services.
Most of which is stolen out of Working American’s paychecks.
