“The Bishop, has asked of Father David and I, Father John, speaking for Father John make an announcement that we are not vaccinated, so people can decide if they want to attend masses we’re celebrating. “And also the priests, and this has been done throughout the diocese, those priests that are not vaccinated are to follow the COVID Protocol in the Liturgy and they are not allowed to visit the sick or elderly that are homebound. “Father John and Father David again have not been vaccinated. “Thank you.”TheBasicCatholic who forwarded the video as a “MUST WATCH”, advised viewers: “Do yourself a favor and do a simple google search on Bishop Stowe and then pray for him. The lack of faith is absolutely heartbreaking. Pray.”
“In March 2021, Stowe expressed support for the Equality Act, proposed legislation that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop opposes. He wrote that "As a Catholic bishop, I hate to see any form of harmful discrimination protected by law and it is consistent with our teaching to ensure that LGBTQ people have the protection they need.”This is what Bishop Stowe Tweeted during Gay Pride Month in Lexington:
And now Bishop Stowe, like Pope Francis, a Jesuit at heart, is outing his own priests at the end of Sunday Mass. We’d pray for the bishop, but pray instead for the two Catholic priests he ratted out. In an era where the Joe Biden administration is turning the COVID-19 vaccinated against the un-vaccinated, in essence what Bishop Stowe did was to draw a bullseye on the vulnerable backs of two of his own priests. Have Mercy on Father John, and Father David, Dearest Jesus. Have Mercy on all the un-vaccinated.With Lexington Pride underway, I am grateful for the presence of people of faith reaching out to those who have been turned away or felt rejected by the Church. Our arms are open to all who seek the Lord with good will!
