After decades of people swapping lies about the Catholic Church back and forth like so many Poke’ Man cards, who really didn't think the same attack machine wouldn't go after all Christians?

Once comedians got major laughs by attacking Catholics, why wouldn't they broaden their routine to include all Christians and why wouldn't everyone with an anti-Christ agenda see the laughing crowds as a signal to start their own anti-Christ attacks? Once it's socially acceptable to attack the twenty percent of the Christian population who are Catholic, it's socially acceptable to attack all Christians who don't buy into the "go along to get along" meme. The next time someone starts in on Christians in general, mentally substitute “Catholic” for "Christian" in what they're saying and ask yourself if you'd object to what's being said if it were only about Catholics. Likewise, the next time you hear jokes and slanders about Catholics, mentally substitute "Christian" for "Catholic" and you'll be hearing what the person talking is really saying.

Half the people who claim to be Christian have ignored deliberate lies and twisted tales about Catholics for so long that they're already immune to a great deal of the anti-Christian garbage at large in society. For example, I know a good number of people who go to church every Sunday and represent themselves as solid Christians. They have no problem renting and laughing at Dogma, though, or laughing at a comedian who builds half his routine around jokes about the Catholic Church. Whether you're Catholic or not, it's time people realized that those aren't "only" attacks on the Catholic Church; they're methodical attacks on Christianity and Christ.

If the fascist crowd can intimidate the majority of Christians into not standing for their faith intimidating them into not defying the fascist agenda is easy. Things of this nature are ground exceedingly fine, so it can't be much longer before all the popular anti-Catholic lies so many who claim to be Christian go along with get turned on Christians in general, one denomination or group at a time. You reap what you sow and it's harvest time for the folks who have long ignored lies about Catholicism, or gone along with portraying someone doesn't abide by Church teaching as a typical Catholic.

As a nation we've ignored decade after decade of carefully crafted attacks aimed at dividing the population into mutually antagonistic groups. Now that we're divided up a hundred different ways, either we'll unite or they'll conquer. The most logical place to start unifying is around Christ our King.

JMHO

That company was being attacked decades ago for being openly Christian and closing on Sunday. I was told then by ardent leftists and atheists that they had no right to do this. The Ten Commandments in courthouses, Christmas displays on the public square, prayer in schools ... decades. Most of my life, in fact.

Bringing denominations into this does not serve any good purpose. It serves to divide. All Christian denominations have been under attack and many have been corrupted, some verging upon irretrievably so, it would appear. Others reached a precipice of sorts with infiltration and are now fighting back, to their credit. Others still held true to God’s Word and are thriving. These especially are the object of leftist wrath today.

Leave the theological debate over differences for a different discussion and debate. Unity here is highly appropriate and necessary. We have far more common ground than disagreements.

Leave it for another day.
