...it is really sad that people who identify as catholics would not be offended by this attack on the rosary and the Virgin Mary on the eve of the Assumption, and that they would mock a defense of the Church.
They can see that an OpEd attacking Jewish faith practices and suggesting that for instance yamulkas were a symbol of extremism and a signal to others who oppose the rule of law is clearly wrong, but they cannot see the same thing when it involves the very faith they claim to identify with.
All persecution is actually an opportunity for proving faith. I think that it strengthens faith like steel in a hot fire. But we must be unwilling to cede our country to people like this. As I posted to jakers in relation to Chris' comment that this was "just one person"......it was actually "just one person who was aided by many who published it and gave it a podium to reach millions with the message". It's evil, and people have a right to know about it. That way, when it happens next and they say that they don't know what we are talking about, and that there isn't any pattern, we can point to their hypocrisy, and hopefully sway some on the fence. i wish these liberals defending this were on the fence, but there are others who read here who might be.
