*You are in the Catholic forum*

In a few years, particularly in light of the failings of our own leadership and the Church's weakened moral authority, we Catholics in the United States may be advised to abandon our troubled, "intolerant" Church for one that is more politically approved and correct- and if you think that thought is paranoid, such a move was tried in one state just a decade ago by politicians who had gotten a little ahead of themselves...

There is a spirit in the air in these times that is not the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the times we are in is more than ever about powers and principalities. Lines are being drawn in the sand so to speak. That article features one venue but it is true how it points out there has been a means of attack here for some time. Oh yes, it's real. I didn't think I would see this in my time on earth but it's been here right along.

"Ignatius Cardinal Kung, from your place among the holy men and women who stand in the presence of the God of All Creation, pray for your brothers and sisters who live in worldly exile, that those who worship in freedom and those who yearn to do so may remain strong in faith. Where we are persecuted, let us remember that we are not able to choose the time of Christ’s coming or his deliverance, but that we are never to be abandoned. Pray for us, that we may learn to pray well, and with peace. Amen."

From the article: Cardinal Ignatius Kung Pin Mei spent more time in prison, mostly in solitary confinement, than Nelson Mandela, but his story is not well known. His crime was keeping fidelity to his faith.

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ b If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ c
