“If that happens it will be obvious that we have entered into an era of tyranny. The FED is more likely to impose horrific monetary sanctions. They can’t be that stupid.”
And why, precisely, would we comply? What then? Arrest?
No need for “compliance” when they can just freeze & seize your bank accounts, your money market accounts, your stock brokerage accounts. Dioceses have many thousands and thousands of dollars in short-term, medium-term and long-term financial assets and instruments that can be readily seized by the government.
Then, there’s real property. Even if a bishop shows up for an eviction, after a piece of the diocese’s property is seized, and chains himself to the building, they’ll just cut through the chains, throw his sorry ass out onto the street, and take possession.
Why arrest a bishop and create all that needless paperwork when you can just take the diocese’s stuff with little or no effort?
