Priest holes?
Religious persecution is as old as religion.
The revocation of the Edict of Nantes drove my ancestors to England and shortly thereafter to the United States, yet I’m thankful that they suffered persecution or I’d be French.

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ?
This address to the Irish accompanied by his usual entourage of hundreds made during his stay in europe for the June 2013 Summit 8 conference might make it to the national scene but our media will sit on it.
The democrat party after taking complete control of both the House and Senate in 2008. Lost the House in 2010 thanks to the opposition by loosely organized groups known as the tea party later characterized by members of the administration as “terrorists” and ignored or distained by the GOPES in the subsequent 2012 election..
But despite that loss the democrats decided any word and reference to GOD was to be removed at their 2012 national convention. A fact that went un-noticed, un-touched, un-mentioned, and un-used by the RINOS and GOPES (GOP elite snobs) during that presidential 2012 election and now who are still running todays Republican party.
Even after reconsideration the decision was derided by the demo- majority because it was re-installed over a majority voice vote supporting the removal.
If this were a political party in a parlimentary system it would be hyphenated and would (and should despite the difference) be refered to as the Demo-Com party. But the RINOS and GOPES can’t even call them “socialist”.
Any Catholic or Christian claiming to belong to this party is a hyprocrite and should be confronted and isolated with disgust and distain. It’s time to understand and face the facts that everything that has been edicted and ruled since that time including discarding the traditional concept of marriage has come out of the closet. They must be refuted.
Persecution always backfires, but it wouldn’t be surprising. Cooption seems to be the modern strategy, and it is much more insidious and successful.
I highly recommend “Mexican Martyrdom” by Rev. Father Wilfrid Parsons, SJ, for information on how the priests got the Eucharist to the people of Mexico in the 1920s and 30s during the persecution. The brave exploits of Blessed Miguel Pro are chronicled early in the book. Also, St. Margaret Clitherow was crushed to death with stones in England in 1586 for harboring priests. I believe she may have been pregnant with her fourth child.
Revolutions and Civil Wars will prevent the need for any “Priest holes” in America.
Will There Be ‘Priest Holes’ in the U.S.A.?
No need. We are better armed then those folks were in England.
For years, any time we were looking at houses for sale, my kids and I would talk about where in the house we could find or create priest holes. We got some strange looks from various real estate agents.
