The truth of the matter is that government enforces its will through violence.
If the church really will not comply, either with the mandate or the consequences for not complying with the mandate,
eventually violence will be used by the government.
We’ll see how far this non-compliance goes.
Violence will simply make the Church stronger.
All they have to do is threaten the tax exempt status, and all will fall in line.
They sent people with guns to Klamath...we stood up to them and eventually won.
The Catholics, with our support can and should do the same.
There comes a time when a clear line must be drawn in the sand. This is one of those times.
