"Pro-gay Kentucky bishop trashes Covington boys: Wearing a Trump hat isn’t pro-life"

"A Kentucky bishop known for pro-homosexual advocacy has published a commentary criticizing the high school boys who marched against abortion in Washington, D.C. for wearing Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats. 'I am ashamed that the actions of Kentucky Catholic high school students have become a contradiction of the very reverence for human life that the march is supposed to manifest,' wrote Lexington Bishop John Stowe in an op-ed for the Lexington Herald Leader. Bishop Stowe’s expression of shame comes at an odd moment, days after the boys have been vindicated by extensive video footage showing the minors were targeted by radical, foul-mouthed, aggressive activists... The Lexington, Kentucky Bishop suggests that the boys were delivering a racist message simply by wearing the hats... Stowe is famously a voice for progressive causes within the Catholic Church – even those which go against Catholic teaching. He is one of five bishops who endorsed pro-gay Fr. James Martin, S.J.’s book, 'Building a Bridge,' and was also a featured speaker in 2017 at a conference for the dissident group New Ways Ministry. The gathering was titled 'Justice and Mercy Shall Kiss: LGBT Catholics in the Age of Pope Francis.'... In July 2018, a spokesperson for the Diocese of Lexington said it was 'up to each parish' whether to promote homosexuality."
