CWN Editor's Note: In 2015, a teacher at a Catholic school in Philadelphia “was apparently fired because she is in a gay marriage,” Philadelphia Magazine reported at the time. On June 4, Bishop John Stowe of Lexington spoke with the ex-teacher at a conference and said, “You tell a story that has happened to you and so many others . . . to be betrayed by an institution that you love. As part of [the] male hierarchy, I apologize for the pain it has caused you.”

He said: "As part of [the] male hierarchy, I apologize for the pain it has caused you." He left out the words "white supremacist" after the word "male".
