Teens kicked out of elite Catholic school for ‘blackface’ awarded $1M by jury after proving it was just acne mask

Two teens kicked out of their elite California Catholic school while falsely accused of wearing blackface have been jointly awarded more than $1 million after proving it was just a green acne face mask.

The then-students at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View were just 14 when they took a photo during a sleepover in 2017 of them wearing the treatment in solidarity with a friend suffering from severe acne, their lawsuit said.

The treatment, bought by one of the boy’s moms, was light green when applied and turned dark green once dry.

Over the years, I’ve come to believe that “organized religion” is yet another useless drone in humanity’s “beehive”.  

I guess these “Catholics” forgot all the admonitions about “suffer the little children to come unto me”,  the Good Samaritan, and “Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.”.

Particualrly — “Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

It seems like the “Liberals” in the Catholic Church were so anxious to be “good guys” that they left their consciences at the convenience of the mob.

So sad.  And, congrats to that jury to show them the errors of their ways in a form they might understand,

Shame on them.

Delingpole: Last Rites Should Not Have Been Denied to Slain Catholic MP

The police reportedly denied access to a Catholic priest who wanted to give the Last Rites to Sir David Amess MP after his fatal stabbing.

Local priest Father Jeffrey Woolnough told The Telegraph that he rushed to the scene of the attack and explained to officers that “I was the local Catholic priest and showed them my card but I wasn’t allowed. They said no one was allowed on the crime scene.”

“Now we know more about what happened I can perhaps understand it, but it’s still a great disappointment for any Roman Catholic – they want to receive the Last Rites… I always use the analogy of priests working on the battlefields in the world wars. They were anointing the men as they were dying,” he said.

Now I wonder how it would be handled for other religions?  I can’t imagine that a Muslim Man would be treated this way.  Maybe a Jewish rabbi because anti-semitism is OK in Protestant England.

Argh!
