One of the key points of this article that I think bears repeating and emphasis is the following quote: "Mr. Prud'homme, a Catholic, said the church should not be free to refuse baptism under any circumstance. "It's a question of rules, but I consider a baby a gift of God," he said in an interview."
I think he just gave us an important peek at his cards. Emphasis on: "the church should not be free to refuse baptism under any circumstance."
I would not be at all surprised if step two is the introduction of "civil rights" legislation designed to force churches to perform baptisms on demand. Perhaps not with criminal penalties per se, but as a requirement to retain such things as tax-free status.
One thing that surprises me about history is how forthright evildoers are about their plans.
And when that happens, the result may well be a situation similar to that of China - the 'state approved' Catholic Church and the underground Catholic Church, persecuted and martyred for the faith.
