‘Stand Together’

Posted

Why do we speak out in defense of other religions, but keep silent when it comes to the attacks on our Catholic religion?

It’s alarming to see the blatant outrageous attacks by John Podesta, Jennifer Palmieri and John Halpin ridiculing Catholics for baptizing and raising our kids Catholic and calling our faith severely backwards. Some believe if we keep quiet and ignore those issues, they will go away; others feel that we have to protect our tax status.

Those attacks are not political, they are blatant attacks on our religion and they are increasing every day. They are chipping away at our religion. Our bishops and priests all over the United States have an obligation to stand together and show that those attacks have to stop. It’s urgent that we act.
