The saga of the Catholic School boys from Covington has continued with various appearances on The Today Show and other venues. But one thing hasn't changed. The failure of the Catholic Church to protect and defend their students. Their customers if you will.
An excellent post was put on American Thinker a couple of days ago by Monica Showalter
The best part of the post:
Did Brett Kavanaugh's Jesuit Catholic school come out and condemn him when false accusations were lobbed against him during his Supreme Court hearing? Not in the slightest. It correctly recognized that the attack was groundless, with a secondary aim to discredit all Catholic education. The school stood up for itself and its values, knowing full well what was at stake.
Not so Covington. I do not know much about the bishop, but he appears to be elderly, which doesn't mean conservative, and the best I can guess is that he doesn't know what's at stake or how the next target of this attack is likely to be Catholic education itself. Throwing a bone to this baying mob and kowtowing to its lies is pretty much feeding a crocodile in the hopes it eats them last.
The kids are the diocese's customers – and now it's just condemned them falsely. Right in the wake of Church scandals about its crimes against children, this diocese and school has gone and committed another crime against kids.
Is that going to make people want to enroll their kids in this school? I sure wouldn't.
Can you imagine Howie Schultz condemning his Starbucks customers? He certainly didn't defend his employees who asked some non-paying customers to leave in Philadelphia a few months back, but it's inarguable that he defends his customers even when they are utterly wrong. He's a businessman, and he knows which side his bread is buttered on. The diocese and the school, not so much.
Yet the clerics persist in condemning the boys and sticking to their story. Not even the prospect of a lawsuit scares them. Maybe one of them should look up "calumny" on the "sin" scale and see if it registers.
If they don't, they're just molesting the kids another way.
This is right on the money. They have no problem virtue signaling and tagging their children as racists and helping the attack on Catholism by main stream enemies of the people. While they are silent on the homosexuals who molest these same boys in the guise of priests, teachers and bishops.
They not shepherds. They are wolves. There needs to be a house cleaning of the Catholic Church. It's hierarchy. It's priesthood. All the good work done by men like Father Fox is tarnished by their sinful behavior. It is time for the laity to call them out. To stop contributing to the church until serious actions are taken.
The case of the Covington boys is a microcosm of the fatal death spiral of the Church. It has survived many things over the centuries. However with the ease of communication and the diffusion of information over the internet they can't cover it up by transferring people anymore.
When I went to church last week the Mass had 90% of the people over 50. A good 50% over 70. Time is running out You don't grow a crop by destroying the seed corn.

Shepherds.
And I think young Mr Sandmann is no sheep. For a 14 year old, he's got his head on straight and seems to have more guts than a lot of guys lots older.
I'll put him up against the fake Indian any day.
The Catholic Church is scared. They haven't had a lot of good luck lately, and it shows.
Scared is the place where the asking, seeking and knocking Jesus talked about is needed. The same Jesus who was said to be full of truth and grace, whose transubstantiated body and blood is believed to be ingested through the Eucharist.
While full might be a lot to shoot for, the willingness to be open to and ask the Holy Spirit whom they also believe in, for more truth and grace would be a good start.
"And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven."
