One final point. This is completely non-negotiable for Catholics. It is the hill that we die on. If you're okay with living in a country that puts Christians in prison or kills them for practicing their religion, then this is the law for you.

But after they're done with us, they'll come for you. Absolutely, positively, guaranteed.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist."

"Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist."

"Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew."

"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." -- Martin Niemöller

IK have no doubt of your scenario - but it is a earthly scenario and Jesus told us it would happen - we would be persecuted because we love Him...and God also decreed where we’re heading...it will get a LOT worse before Jesus returns to set things right and it cannot be stopped - if you believe what the Bible tells us about His return. God has spoken and they will come for all of us - it’s just the timing that is in question.
