I agree with the Archbishop to the extent that this could happen but I don't think the 225,000,000 Americans calling themselves 'Christian' will be readily intimidated into bowing down to homosexual demands to make the refusal to recognize 'gay marriage into a criminal offense. I'm not saying this could never happen - look at the sorry state we're in today - just that Christians (even the nominal ones) are 75% of the U.S. population. However, 40 years ago homosexual behavior was considered a mental illness and something decent people avoided talking (or thinking) about, so anything can happen when a society decides to ignore God's law and embrace hedonism. In that sense, Archbishop Dalton's warning may be prophetic and is well taken.

I’ve seen web pages calling for the Knights of Columbus to be labeled a “Hate Group”.

The problem with the 75% figure, however, is we have to still put some consideration into how many Christians actively practice their faith and attend their services. Even in Catholicism there’s many worldwide that profess the faith, but hardly attend church that often. However, I would be willing to assume that Christians in America are perhaps among the most active attending in the modern world. Don’t take my word for it, because I don’t have the stats to back it.
