He hasn't comforted her at all.
Juliet has told her father that Friar Lawrence told her to apologise to her father and to agree to marry Paris. Capulet praises the Friar, thinking that the Friar is helping Capulet's marriage plans for Juliet, when in fact the apology is part of the Friar's plan to frustrate Capulet's plans.
The Nurse and Friar Lawrence knew about it before anyone else because the Friar performed the marriage and the Nurse was Juliet's close confidant so she told her everything.
Capulet thinks the city should be bound to the Friar because he has talked Juliet into marrying Paris. (Why the whole city should care I don't know.) Of course the audience knows that this Friar whom Capulet is praising has actually talked Juliet into faking her death so she won't have to marry Paris.

Juliet has told her father that Friar Lawrence told her to apologise to her father and to agree to marry Paris. Capulet praises the Friar, thinking that the Friar is helping Capulet's marriage plans for Juliet, when in fact the apology is part of the Friar's plan to frustrate Capulet's plans.
In Act IV Scene 2 Capulet says, "Now, afore God! this reverend holy friar, Our whole city is much bound to him." He says this in response to Juliet's lie that Friar Laurence has advised her to obey her father and marry Paris. The audience knows that he has not advised Juliet to do this at all and does not deserve the praise Capulet gives him. If Capulet knew the true state of affairs, he would not be praising the Friar. Hence it is dramatic irony.
The Nurse and Friar Lawrence knew about it before anyone else because the Friar performed the marriage and the Nurse was Juliet's close confidant so she told her everything.
