The bishops said the problems was wearing the hats as a Catholic at a pro-life rally.

Right.
Conspicuously absent were problems caused by the other groups present for the incident.
I was disappointed with it. For me it feels like blaming a rape victim for wearing the wrong skirt.
In fact, it should not matter what they wore, they were the victim.

That is a good analogy. It has crossed my mind as well.
 
I wear a red hat with white lettering on it often, to show my support for a certain Catholic high school. It must look like a MAGA hat from a distance, because I notice people staring at it often. Sometimes they smile when they get closer and realize it doesn’t say what they thought it said.
 
And I did pray a Rosary decade for Nathan Phillips today, that he be healed from his bitterness, forsake paganism and come to Jesus Christ. Hope it helps.
 
There are some people, especially some of African ancestry, who feel that the MAGA hats are pretty much the equivalent of KKK hoods for reasons that shouldn’t have to be even explained, right or wrong.
 
Of course, without birth, life does seem to come to an abrupt halt.
 
Perhaps you could explain this? Saying others shouldn’t need to ask is an assumption.

If that happened, then what the bishop said was inaccurate, not a straw man. As he has apologized for his response, then it is possible.

I don’t know if the bishop went too far, but I do get his point about the hats, or the Che shirts if they ever show up.

The bishop may have suddenly realized that his condemnation coincided with his annual mailing fund-raising letter and thus hastened his apology.

Maybe look at Trump’s reaction and what he said about what’s called the “Central Park 5”, and that would be just for the beginning of discovering why.

There is an entire thread in Catholic News started by someone who says the kids knowingly wore hats that are racist, bigoted, and anti-life. It is called something along the lines of “do Catholics want to be associated with MAGA”. A handful of posters have also said in the various Covington threads that they shouldn’t have worn the hats.

The only people offended by MAGA hats are Dems, and they’re not going to be persuaded by a prolife march, no matter what. “Trump hate” really is about abortion.
 
I would like to see all the Shepard’s of the Church emphasize the fact the allowing one to actually be born is essential to recognizing the dignity of everyone inside and out of the womb.

There is more than one Bishop here.
Bishop John Stowe issued the condemnation for wearing MAGA gear.
This letter was issued days after the incident, after almost everything had been learned of the incident.
He has provided no apology.

Bishop Roger Foys issued an apology to the students as well as their parents and Nicholas Sandmann specifically.

Maybe we shouldn’t assume that MAGA hat wearers agree with everything Trump has said, just like we should assume all Obama supporters support abortion.

How do you feel about RESIST stickers?
 
Why is it that even on a topic like this, some keep throwing in abortion? Not everything that takes place in the good old USA relates to abortion.

Again, remember that I am Pro-Life.

First of all, without looking it up I can’t remember even what it is, so I’ll check it out shortly.

Hey, cut me some slack as I’m 73, OK!!!

Sorry, 73 is too young to claim the age excuse!!
