Sounds like a vague threat of physical violence. Are you really that upset?

I am upset and it is a threat of physical violence against anyone, Christian, Muslim, Atheist or whatever, who would attempt to take away the rights of Americans to worship, or not worship, as they see fit.

You should step back and realize that, even if you are unaware, you have freely accepted a new religion under the form of "liberal humanism," imposed on you by the culture at large, which blinds you to the idea of a true God and the true worship due to Him.

The difference between us is that, even if I had the power to do so, I would not attempt to impose my religious views upon you. To be honest, I couldn't care less what you believed in, so long as you or others like you do not attempt to use force to impose your beliefs upon me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but given the power to do so, I believe you would impose Catholic theocratic rule on this country.

No, I would promote Catholicism as the true religion while allowing those who wished to worship otherwise to do so. I am not suggesting a "New Inquisition" by which non-Catholics would be hunted down and converted - that is absurd. I believe the Inquisition in Church history is defendable if properly understood in a Catholic context, but I don't propose a reprisal of it because America is not a Christian nation and it is a means of defense, not restoration, as the article pointed out. The restoration will come eventually, but things must get worse before they get better. The "slouching towards Gomorrah" that America has been experiencing for the last half century is paying off in spades and we have only the rise of liberalism and naturalism to blame. The proposal of political solutions to moral problems is laughable - it is only through a return to God that we can oppose the errors of today.
