This the latest from a Catholic forum I read

“I’m a former student at Covington Catholic. I have spoken with my former teachers who were there, and read first hand accounts from my parish priest who was there.

This is a total fabrication, and the media is already back peddling their lies. Those young men are good people. And I’m appalled at how quickly their fellow Catholics, school administration, and diocese was ready to throw them under the bus based on a ten second video clip posted by a group of political activists to further their own agenda.

These young men have received death threats, their personal information blasted out online, because a mob of twitter users demanded blood.

Pray for them, pray for their families, that the truth wins and that no harm befalls them.”

The sad part is the diocese making a knee jerk reaction. The liberal media full of hate for Trump and political correctness are destroying this country.

Also, my daughter went with John Carroll Catholic a few times and the adult to student ratio is 3 or 4-1. And they would never allow such behavior and neither would Covington Catholic.

The only people the Catholic Church won't go after is their own who abuse innocent children. Says a lot about the institution...

First, this wasn't about Trump. Not this time. This was about the March for Life and the media not wanting to cover the story. Instead, they created one out of whole cloth -- anything to keep from having to cover the real story -- and these kids were easy targets. The fact they wore MAGA hats was icing. As far as the Diocese and the school's immediate response, yes, it was knee-jerk. But the Diocese and the school were working under the assumption that the media is an honest medium and the video was accurate. It's hard for people to wrap the heads around the fact that the media are bold-faced liars. People still assume that the media are basically honest journalists just 'telling the story'. But the truth is more often than not the media is telling a story. I believe the Diocese and the school have been set back on their heels if they read the boy's response (seen in the video by the media) as to what happened. The full two-hour video matches up to his accounting of facts. Can't say the same for the supposed victim the media tried to make out of the native American over the weekend. Not that the media cares. They already knew the truth before going forward with the story. And that's what should disgust everyone with any sense of decency. That video was cropped and edited - they knew. These boys are 15/16 years old. If anyone is a victim here - it's these Catholic Christian school boys. And I dare anyone to challenge me on it. The media can go pound sand.

As for your comment, Kory, about the Catholic Church, please refer to my comments above. I'm sure the Diocese feels awful for trusting a news story. The Catholic Church is made of men. They will screw up. Let's not condemn the whole institution for it.

I don't think it says anything about the institution. It says a lot about the leadership however.

Would be nice if the Supreme Court did their f'in jobs and heard some cases. Like, I don't know, the repeated infringement of red flag laws, magazine bans, age raises, etc. as well as judges striking down abortion bans as unconstitutional.

Nah, let's worry about the transgender military ban, which accounts for <0.1% of the active duty military members.

You can be in a hurry I’d you want. Transgender case been on docket for awhile. I feel your pain but actually not optimistic about their possible rulings on the cases that you mention...

That’s true. Kavanaugh’s first major decision on the bench was not to hear a case about stripping Medicaid abortion funding. Not very optimistic.

She knows what she’s doing she knows ignorant people follow her so she throws them the meat. I hope she keeps it up. They’re confused with the midterm elections thinking some kind of tide has turned. They’re going to wake up a beast that they nor Trump will be able to deal with...

How's everyone's ringworm ? AOC declared Alabama unable to treat kids with the condition. She is an ignoramus that 74% of the dem party said they would consider voting for her for president.
