Ping!
Early in Exodus, we saw it with Moses.
Much later in the Old Testament, we saw it with Daniel.
Then early in the Christian Era, we saw it with Nero
Apparently, it's our turn today.
Now, with God's guidance, we can choose. Do we get fed to the lions? Will He save us from them? Or do we stand up to evil, face it down, and bring a stop to the oppression regardless of the worldly power held by those who oppose God? I just hope and pray that few if any true Christians are weak enough to bow down to Obama.
refuse them.
Just say no to them.
Not just Roman Catholics, but any and all real Christians.
Actually, they were Christians, not Catholics. And they were famous for NOT huddling.
RCC wasn't around yet, IIRC.

The battle begins......it will be time for a lot of Catholics to choose between what is morally right and what the world tells them what is right. God be with us!
I used to pray to be a martyr as a little child. The times were so tame and placid for Catholics then; it’s seemed impossible. Now I’m aware of all the “little martyrdoms” we Catholics suffer every day as we live our lives faithfully. We are made fun of in the media, we are ridiculed in academia, and many of our fellow Christians mock us.
I count it a blessing to live in these times. I am willing to suffer hostility, ridicule, and prejudice for following Christ’s Word. I’m happy I can offer that small sacrifice up for Him. I once heard a priest say that if all our coworkers and acquaintances don’t know we are Catholic, we’ve not been living out our Catholic faith as we should. Everyone who knows us should know where we stand on Christ and the Church. That’s the measure of success.
It’s going to get difficult to live as a Catholic. The faithful remnant will remain.
