You bet it's coming. It's easy for people to guffaw at the notion of a modern day persecution of Catholics. As we witnessed on 9/11, things can change very quickly. Once churches start getting picketed on Sundays by these groups, it'll get ugly. Short of that, I fully expect Catholic hospitals to get thrown under the bus at some point, as well as the repeal of the Christmas federal holiday and Good Friday observance in the markets...

If the Church is truly the body of Christ, then it goes that the Church will be crucified and rise again... We've been in the scourging stages for about two thousand years now...

That stuff is small potatos compared to what Catholics in France during the French Revolution endured. If anything, our contemporary revolutionaries have shown a penchant for being even more blood-thirsty.

Keep your powder dry and your rosaries in hand...
