cmotherofpirl Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I am sad to say I completely disagree. THe persecution of Christianity, and Catholicism in particular is just beginning. We pay taxes but have no imput in the school system. Our religious are muzzled in the pulpits. Our hospitals are being ordered to pay for contraceptives and abortions. Our rights to hire religious people for CAtholic organizations is under attack. We are forbidden in many cases to stand outside and protest the murder of children. Our children can be given medications and even kill our grandchildren without our permission, even though they are but children themselves. People are creating and combining and destroying humans in ways even Frankenstein didn't think of. Our voices are being threatened by laws against hate speech, when we simply quote the Word of God. There have been more martyrs in the last century than ALL other centuries combined. May the Lord have mercy on us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke2219 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I think that it is becasue of the persecution that things will get better. We are being persecuted more because we are starting to speak out more. Jesus said that people will hate us. Since they do, we must be doing something right. God is for us; who can be against. We will win in the end. Pray, hope, and don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXpenguin21 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 unfortunanly, it does seem like it's getting worse... actualy, it seems like it's getting back to how it use to be... IN CORINTH!!! seriously, if St. Paul was alive now, he'd be issuing some more letters... but anyway... my point is, that there are certain shifts in society when entire generations begin to think differently for some reason or another... it's called a paradyme* shift. eventualy, the "pendulum" will start to swing back the other way, away from the liberal side of things... it's happend many times in history. *i spelled it phoneticaly so if it's spelled wrong, you can ask someone about it and still sound like you know what the word is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, a LOT worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
