The Coming Persecution

There will be no martial law or military in the streets.

The battles will be in the courtroom.

There will be pockets of resistance: Families here and there who are home schooling types--their girls in long denim skirts and their boys with combed hair and white shirts and ties.

In the meantime, most Americans will continue on happily.

There have been no great revolutions.

The economy did not collapse.

There was no great world war.

The Muslims did not attack America.

Families still go to the Mall, eat out at their favorite restaurants, and enjoy all the great amusements and opportunities America has always had on offer.

They're still neat and snug in the suburbs, and the Catholics? They will remember the first signs of a fuss--over the HHS Mandate of 2012--but it was soon shown that the vast majority of Americans--Catholics included--were in favor of artificial contraception--and didn't really mind abortion that much.

Furthermore, it was shown that a good number of Catholic schools and universities and places of employment had already--even before the mandate--been providing cover for contraception, sterilization and abortion.

The Bishops were shown to be wrong. The battle had already been lost long ago when the vast majority of Catholics accepted artificial contraception.
