Please don't ask Catholics to choose between politicized issues and The Church. True Catholics will always choose the Church, regardless of the law.

You would also be willing to suffer the consequences of violating the law, I assume?

Remember, it was the fear that Catholics would consider themselves above the law that led to strong the anti-Catholic feelings a century ago.

Yes, and there was plenty of persecution of Catholics, especially Irish, as a result of the phony notion that the Pope was somehow going to interfere in US policy.

Would you feel the same way about the Church if priests and bishops broke the law regarding violating privacy zones around abortion clinics?

It wasn't fear it was bigotry, ignorance and hatred. They didn't call the KKK - Koons Kykes and Katholics out of fear.

You honestly think those postcards that were mailed in 1928 stating that the Holland Tunnel was being dug so Al Smith would be able to drive directly to the Vatican were sent out of fear?

All Christians believe that God's law supersedes man's law.
