Covington bishop apologizes to pro-life students: ‘we…allowed ourselves to be bullied’

“We #Allowed ourselves to be #Bullied”

It took holy courage and humility, on the part of the #DioceseOfCovington to say these words, and we are grateful to hear them, to support our #ProLife #Youth like #NicholasSandmann.

Amid mounting pressure, #BishopRogerJosephFoys of the #Diocese of #Covington issued a new statement Friday #Apologizing to a group of #ProLife students the Diocese initially #Condemned over a confusing video from the #MarchForLife.

“We are sorry that this situation has caused such disruption in the lives of so many.”

“We apologize to anyone who has been offended in any way by either of our statements which were made with goodwill based on the information we had,” Foys writes in the letter. “We should not have allowed ourselves to be #Bullied and #Pressured into making a statement #Prematurely, and we take full responsibility for it.”

“I especially apologize to #NicholasSandmann and his family as well as to all CovCath families who have felt #Abandoned during this ordeal,” he continues.

“Nicholas, unfortunately, has become the face of these allegations based on video clips. This is not fair. It is not just.”
