Update Jan. 22, 2:15 P.M.: The Diocese of Covington headed by Bishop Roger Joseph Foys issued a new statement today. Read full report on LifeSiteNews: Covington bishop speaks of ‘corrective action’, offers no apology to mistreated boys
COVINGTON, Kentucky, January 21, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A Catholic bishop has issued a letter of condemnation against the Catholic students of his diocese who were at the center of a media firestorm this weekend over what turned out to be false and slanderous reports that the students had mocked Native Americans outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Bishop Roger Joseph Foys of Covington, Kentucky, along with the Covington Catholic High School administration succumbed to the mainstream media's leftist spin of the Friday, January 19 altercation, issuing a joint statement of condemnation.
“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.,” the January 19 statement read.
“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 bishop and school administration said the matter was “being investigated.” They added that they would “take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.”

The pope is openly communist and apparently thats just fine...
“Looks like the diocese has an anti-white Bishop”
Well he himself is white, and quite frankly he looks like a smirky faced child molester and I’m sure he is one.
THANK GOD I LEFT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. I urge all good people to do the same. They don’t even stick up for their own children. If they are not victimizing them themselves, they are happy to let others do so.
This man is a disgrace, but so seems to be every single other one.
Sorry it has come to this, but they’ve brought it all on themselves.
What’s with Foys? Closeted sodomite? Lavender mafia?
The Roman Catholic Church is on a jihad against western civilization.
Bishop is a moron. At best.
Downright evil, possibly.
It’s gonna be pretty hard to walk it all back.
This is a type of fake story as well. Shame on you...lowering yourself to the same level....
Lots of knee-jerk opinions here too. Sad..
Why do you say that?
Touched a nerve, I see.
Have a pleasant evening.

Sadly....and like many other churches, Catholics are split in a way that very much reflects the secular culture, BUT, please be aware that there are still a good number of practicing Catholics who love the Lord, Jesus, and and work hard to please Him. This includes our clergy as well.
So let’s not make the mistake of painting all with the same broad brush.
No, my *nerves* were not at all bothered, but I believe that Jesus is unhappy with such judging of others.
I ask for a grace-filled evening for you.
Once you are a baptized Catholic, you are always a Catholic. To come back all you need to do is sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.
I will pray for you.
One is baptized a Christian, not a Catholic, and (not trying to be obnoxious) I learned that as a Catholic. Please pray for me and I will do the same for you.
In a Catholic Baptism an indelible mark is left on your soul by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You will be identified as a Catholic when you stand in front of Jesus Christ at your particular judgment.
What will your answer be then?
Why would anyone be a Catholic today ?
“Bishop Roger Joseph Foys of Covington, Kentucky, along with the Covington Catholic High School administration succumbed to the mainstream media’s leftist spin of the Friday, January 19 altercation, issuing a joint statement of condemnation.”
These poor high school students didn’t expect the Covington Inquisition!
Because it is true and we do not abandon Our Lord because the going gets tough.
Quite honestly I don’t think God is concerned with things like religious denominations.
