By Christine Rousselle, CNA - Bishop Roger Foys of Covington, Kentucky, issued an apology Friday for a Jan. 19 diocesan statement that condemned the actions of some Covington Catholic High School students… “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,” said Bishop Foys in the letter, which was addressed to the parents of Covington Catholic students… “We should not have allowed ourselves to be bullied and pressured into making a statement prematurely, and we take full responsibility for it.”

By Matthew Chicoine, Catholic Exchange - According to Romans 8:28, “We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” It is no coincidence that the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, traditionally occurs a week after the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. Throughout Church history the reformed murderer and the simple fisherman frequently are portrayed in art and sacred liturgy together as exemplars for Christians to follow.
