We know to expect persecution. But, why did so many Catholics vote to get more persecution?
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
I imagine if/when the times of real persecution come, many "catholics" will officially and finally turn away. I pray often that I may stay strong in my faith and in the Lord's Grace through these most trying times.
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
They are either too stupid to understand what's at stake, or their hearts have become hardened.
