Fuck I am dumber for having read that.I don't think we are being persecuted. It's not like we are being imprisoned or put to death. I do think that there is generally an attempt, by some, to try and silence us (you can have your faith, but shut up and stay out of politics). I'm more concerned what is happening in our own church, than in the world at large. Pope Francis is doing more to suppress devoted US catholics than any government of group (about 30% of US catholics are devote). He's done the same in Africa, but their bishops have put their foot down and refuse to accept some of his 'teachings'. They have some real courage.
Especially about the last part about shitty bishops having “courage”.
It’s funny watching religious people ignore Jesus and still try to claim the moral high ground.
