Coming for the Catholics first? They came for commercial fishermen, they came for farmers, they came for loggers, and now you are just noticing?

Fishing and farming and logging aren't religions (although fishing comes close).

The Catholic stance on abortion and homosexual marriage has not changed, despite the rampant actions of the Marxists to push that. Several denominations have waffled on those issues, and others have given in.

Fishing, farming, and logging aren't fundamental Rights.

You missed the point. It does not matter what the reason is, when they come for someone for something and get away with it, they will come for someone else for some other reason.

And yes, commercial fishermen took the US to SCOTUS over the issue of Rights. Are Rights equally applied to all Americans? No, they said. (WASHINGTON v. FISHING VESSEL ASSN., 443 U.S. 658 (1979))

And according to SCOTUS, “You have mere privileges which can be revoked at any given time, only Treaty Indians have Rights guaranteed by the Constitution, (and yours have been revoked).” - repeated in three separate cases.

So religion as a Right, like all the others, are illusions, and can be revoked, unless you practice a Treaty tribal religion which is guaranteed as a Right.

Further, many Catholic priests (and other denomination leaders) at the time denounced commercial fishermen from the pulpit as rapists, worse than child molesters, and evil people who need to be imprisoned.

What goes around, comes around.
