This is a true statement. The goal is to destroy Catholicism completely. The tactic uses public shaming of the group or individual to cause them to sin and abandon their faith. The more public the Catholic individual the bigger the prize.
As social creatures, we are very much afraid of being alone and ostracized. The solution is to love God more than you love yourself and your status. Only then are you truly free. Be not afraid, for if God is with you than no one can be against you.
