For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap

Et tu, Catholic Church?
In light of racism shown by its students from Covington Catholic High School (Kentucky--who would have ever guessed?) as they chanted "Go back to the reservation" and threatened Native American Vietnam War Veteran Nathan Phillips while wearing their MAGA hats, the Catholic Conference of Kentucky issued the following:
We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students toward Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18 after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C.  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.
As usual, this is complete and utter horseshit from the Catholic Church.

Under Pope John Paul II, the Catholic Church sold its soul to the republican party in America in return for its anti-abortion and homophobic policies that align perfectly with Catholic Church doctrine.  That the republican party was also the party of racism was conveniently ignored (name one fucking prominent Catholic who has said word one about the party's history of disenfranchising people of color or Trump's blatant racism).  Now that the Church has been once again made to look like the hateful religion that it is, they've suddenly had a come to Jesus moment?

Go fuck yourselves--this is the deal with the devil the Church made and now it can watch even more of its disciples flee and its piety made a mockery of.  It will be richly deserved.

And once again (see also, Rome, Hitler, Mussolini, Sex Abuse) the Catholic Church is on the wrong side of history.

Here's hoping eventually the pimple on the butt of humanity that is the Catholic Church will be popped and the world can begin to heal from the misery it has wrought.

Fuck Donald Trump,
