Fake News at the March for Life from the left leaning media: disgusting

It’s been a week since the March for Life and the infamous video depicting  the 
"confrontation" between the young high school student, Nick Sandmann and a 

Native American elder, Nathan Phillips chanting and beating a drum..  

I watched the video and wondered what all the fuss was about. 

I didn’t see the kid doing anything wrong. 

"Seriously? " I thought. "Am I missing something?"  

"He must have done something terribly wrong to be receiving such 
 hateful comments over the internet."
" I don’t get it."  I thought. "There must be more to 
the story than a smiling kid standing  passively in front of the Elder. " 

Well, actually  there is more to the story and it doesn’t look good 

for the Left Leaning Media who effectively set in motion such a frenzy of hatred

that this innocent student and his classmates and their 
families were effectively lynched on social media
When more videos emerged it was obvious that 

Phillips was the one who waded into a crowd that was already there 
click here

( and not the other way around as the media would have you believe)

and stood inches from student Nick Sandmann’s face. 
I see Nathan Phillips as the bully here
Not only did the students do nothing wrong but their 
behaviour was exemplary in the face of such a horribly stressful situation
There was a lot going on at the Lincoln Memorial at the time 
the kids were waiting for their bus. In fact it has come to light 
click here that A Catholic priest was the target of bigoted slurs 
from the radical activist group The Black Hebrew Israelites 
shortly before the kids were verbally attacked by the same group,  
The Covington kids reacted swiftly to defend the priest and their faith. 
Monsignor Patrick Hambrough was walking back 
to the Lincoln Memorial 
after the March for Life when the  students witnessed the priest 
being verbally assaulted  and a group of the boys rushed to his side.  
This radical group yelled hateful things like 
priests and Catholics are all child molesters, 
everyone born Catholic is born out of incest”,
All this being said my question is why has this group not been called out 

on their disgusting behaviour?  

What I do know and have come to find really depressing  it is how Catholics are hated . 
Out of all that was going on, the hatred from this black Israeli group, the “in your face” actions from the Elder, it would seem that the Catholic Hating Media decided to focus on one thing and one thing alone, and that was an innocent pro life Catholic student 
waiting for his bus after the March for Life. Why? Because they didn’t like the 
way he smiled? It's no wonder that we don't trust the mainstream media anymore.

Live Update from Lifesite News

January 23, 4:10 PM EST: Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins has issued the following statement:

What is amazing to me is how aggressively the media ignores hundreds and thousands people – nuns and pastors, families made by adoption and birth, young and old, rich and poor, volunteers in pregnancy care centers and students from across the country – all marching for Life. They see nothing, wading through a crowd, to find something they can criticize. Attacking students based on a few minutes of video is offensive for many reasons, but ignoring all that could be easily seen is just as problematic. The story of the March for Life deserves to be told by those who ignore it because of their bias and prejudice against people of faith and in favor of abortion.
We are glad to see the truth coming out about what really happened Friday afternoon and are keeping the Covington students in our prayers as they deal with the fallout of this media set-up, particularly the vicious threats they continue to receive on social media. Our team at Students for Life has reached out to them as we stand ready to help them continue their pro-life activism at their school and in their community. Quite frankly, this story gets to the root of why so many conservatives and pro-lifers don't trust the mainstream media any longer.

Consider how the travelers, impelled by grace and attracted by curiosity to examine such surprising wonders, set out for the site offering them refuge. Taking off their shoes, they climbed the hill with great difficulty, helping each other over large boulders and sharp cliffs. When they reached the cave, which they were able to see in the flashes of lightening, how great was their surprise of joy and admiration! For they saw that this cave had been delicately carved by nature as a spacious temple. It protected a beautiful Statue of the Holy Virgin holding the Christ Child in her left arm, and carrying a scepter in her right hand. A precious crown rested on her forehead. Her dress, like that of the Infant, was simple but elegant, and both were made in the same material and style.

The site was adorned with various types of flowers that carpeted the floor and climbed on the walls, filling the air with an exquisite fragrance for the Queen of Heaven. Set in the rock was a lamp so expertly craft ed that it gave off the illumination of many lights. Such beauty and delight to honor such an admirable Lady! Such surprise and admiration for the overwhelmed travelers! The ecstatic pair contemplated this little part of Heaven and calmed their overwrought hearts in the presence of their Mother, who, after the terrible storm, had come to them so unexpectedly, radiant with beauty and tender of feature, to provide them with refuge and consolation in that desperate and difficult juncture.

So also my soul is calmed before the image of Mary. When the burdens of life and its imminent dangers bring us close to despair, let us go, then, to her with tranquility and confidence, thanking God Who in His Omnipotence permitted that portentous statue to be miraculously found in that hidden place for the honor of the Immaculate Virgin and so that all might venerate Her under that precious avocation of Good Success.

Prayer

O God of Mercy, Who never abandons in desolation one who faithfully and fervently serves Thee amid the misfortunes and dangers of life, and Who leads us to find our Mother and advocate as a refuge in our adversities, grant us a tender and fervent heart to search for Mary and find her, always loving and protective, so that we might serve her and merit, through Thy intercession, to lead a good and Christian life and afterwards be with her forever in Heaven.
Amen.

Act of Thanksgiving to the Blessed Virgin

O Virgin blessed among all women! We lack the words to give thee thanks for the innumerable blessings that we have received from thy hand. The day of thy birth can be called the day of thanksgiving, happiness, and consolation. Thou art the honor of mankind, the joy of Paradise, the beloved gift of God, and the well being of our country. What merit do we have, Blessed Virgin of Good Success, to deserve to have thee as our Mother? May God be forever blessed Who has desired it so! Blessed also art thou, Virgin Mary, because, despite our ingratitude, thou showest us thy propitious favor.

Thus art thou, most clement Mother, our consolation on earth, our refuge, our help and our protection in both our public and private needs. Safeguard us from war, pestilence, hunger, storms, earthquakes and all the calamities, which we merit by our guilt.. Pray for the Holy Church and for her visible head. Hear the supplications of those who invoke thee. Be thou our Advocate, our Mother, for as thus do we place our confidence in thee. To thee do we have recourse, and through thy intercession we hope to achieve from thy Son pardon for our sins and perseverance in grace until death.  
Amen.

Here, each one raising up his heart to God, should ask, through the intercession of Blessed Mary of Good Success, that grace or favor which he desires to receive.

Consider how the providence of the Most High desired to so favor mankind by manifesting the hidden treasure of the precious statue of Holy Mary under the avocation of Good Success. After the death of Brother Bernandine de Obregon, founder of the Brotherhood of the (Friar) Minors for the Service of the Sick (the Order of St. Francis of Paola), Gabriel de Fontaned was elected to replace him. Accompanied by Guillermo Rigosa, he traveled to Rome to ask the Supreme Pontiff for his official approval of the Institute and the habit with the purple cross that distinguishes the order.

As they were passing through the town of Traigueras (under the jurisdiction of Tortosa in the Principate of Cataluna), they were caught in a terrifying hailstorm with lightening and thunder so strong that their hearts were filled with terror.. They begged God to provide them with a shelter where they could take refuge so that they might prepare to die in peace, for the unrelenting rigor of the storm had persuaded them that they would not survive it. But God in His Divine Mercy so disposed that this search for shelter should be a presage of a good fortune. In a burst of lightning, they were able to discern a turnoff in the path. Following it, they could see the contours of a cave set far up in the hill above them. Even from the distance, they could see a bright light illuminating its interior and smell a sweet and heavenly aroma, more intense than anything on earth. Their souls were inundated with a great happiness as well as a sentiment of reverent admiration. At the same time, they felt an interior impulse to know the cause of such wonders.

Prayer

O God, admirable in all Thy works! May Thou always convert the most hazardous occurrences of life into proofs of Thy mercy, and in the most desperate storms may Thou show the preludes of Thy prodigies in our favor, just as Thou did with the Minorite brothers by means of that terrifying storm. Grant to us, through the intercession of the Queen of Good Success, the virtue of patience, to suffer with a resigned spirit the trials sent us by Thy Divine Will, because at any moment Thou can change them to consolations in this life and afterwards grant us Thy eternal reward in Heaven, where we will always sing Thy praise and the praise of Holy Mary.
Amen

Act of Thanksgiving to the Blessed Virgin

Assault on Catholic Pro-Life Young Men -

Not only the Left, but even Catholic bishops, priests, and intellectuals piled onto the Covington High boy accused of being racist and attacking a Native American man banging a drum at the March for Life. More footage reveals that the boy did nothing and some are apologizing. Dr Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon analyze why so many CATHOLICS wanted to condemn white, pro-life, young men. They also discuss why we need to rally to our young men.






Bishop Baron response to the Covington Catholic Incident




The Internet and Satan’s Game
Bishop Robert Baron 
`By now the entire country has seen a video of a supposedly racist confrontation, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, between a grinning young high school student and a Native American elder, chanting and beating a drum. The immediate and ferocious judgment of the internet community was that the boy was effectively taunting and belittling the elder, but subsequent videos from wider angles as well as the young man’s own testimony have cast considerable doubt on this original assessment.`
