Even brought up Thomas More saying he was willing to give up his life for what he believed in, when we are only being asked to speak up for our FReedoms.
Thanks for the additional post. Heartening.
On the other hand, there was no mention of ANYthing at the 5:30 Mass in Northern Virginia I attended. The Bulletin contained a flier. That was the whole effort. (The sermon, on St. John the Baptist, might have been titled “What’s in a Name,” not a word connecting John’s proclaiming of the coming of Christ with anything the Bishops are trying to accomplish.)
