Covington Catholic High School Is under the Authority of the Diocese of Covington

Here is the entire current content of the home page for the Catholic Diocese of Covington this morning:

https://www.covdio.org/

Sorry for the inconvenience. Our website is currently down.

And, guess what? Here's the entire content of the home page for the Covington Catholic High School website:

This site can’t be reached
www.covcath.org refused to connect.

I guess they're both down for a whitewashing job.

has advised them to take the sites down until they can be checked, page by page, for content that is questionable, in light of this scandal. The Diocese of Covington is embarrassed and unsure about what to do.

The School may well see some changes in its leadership, so information about current leadership may not be accurate at this time.

The PR firm is advising them on what to do. It has already pulled embarrassing videos from the school off YouTube. Those videos showed the outrageous behavior of students in a number of videos, and needed to be removed. Similarly, the school's Facebook and Twitter accounts are also locked down.

Once they've all been scrubbed of embarrassing content, the sites and venues will return to life, all freshly cleaned and shining brightly.

A substantial check will be written to the PR firm, and both the Diocese and the School will think everything is OK again. It won't be, though. Not a chance.

Covington is a symptom, not the disease.
