In the coming decade or two, Catholics and other Christians will have to choose between conforming or becoming persecuted through discrimination and imprisonment. Some of you reading this may think I am being hysterical. Fascistic movements do not allow dissent. If you want an example of this look at the lack of any flexibility over what is taught in the public schools. Children are being indoctrinated into the new morality and students suffer discrimination today by taking a position counter to the 'official line'. For example, try to make the argument that Lincoln was a dictator and violated the Constitution in his pursuit of keeping the Union together. Or better yet ask your school system to include a discussion about Intelligent Design as part of the biology curriculum. It will never be allowed since a free exchange of ideas and opinions is not tolerated.
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr". Francis Cardinal George, 2010.
Catholics have long memories and a centuries of being persecuted. There is no jewish persecution going on in the world today (thank God) but Catholics are being persecuted and martyred in Iraq, Nigeria, China, Sudan, Pakistan and many other countries. The world is silent because it some twisted and diabolical way it approves. We stand as the biggest obstacle to the emerging New World Order which will eventually reduce the status of human beings to that of another animal species. The new pagans don't have gods and mythologies to restrain their baser impulses. Without God and His revelation, Man is just another species. The coming age will have a return to slavery.....gradually at first....but eventually it will become more widespread than it was ever in the past. There are mad scientists working in labs around the world developing cloning techniques and other bizarre technologies which will change the perception of the human being. You can be assured that a minority of Catholics will oppose this new morality and fascism with all their might. Many Catholics will apostatize when faced with the consequences of resistance. But, this has happened in the past in every age.
The 2nd-century Church Father Tertullian wrote that "the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church," implying that the martyrs' willing sacrifice of their lives leads to the conversion of others.
From Pope Leo XIII; Diuturnum:
"15. The one only reason which men have for not obeying is when anything is demanded of them which is openly repugnant to the natural or the divine law, for it is equally unlawful to command to do anything in which the law of nature or the will of God is violated. If, therefore, it should happen to any one to be compelled to prefer one or the other, viz., to disregard either the commands of God or those of rulers, he must obey Jesus Christ, who commands us to "give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's,"[18] and must reply courageously after the example of the Apostles: "We ought to obey God rather than men."[19] And yet there is no reason why those who so behave themselves should be accused of refusing obedience; for, if the will of rulers is opposed to the will and the laws of God, they themselves exceed the bounds of their own power and pervert justice; nor can their authority then be valid, which, when there is no justice, is null."read the entire encyclical, Please! :http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Leo13/l13civ.htm

Check out Fathet Z's blog on February 11, 2012 for another great quote from Leo XIII!

"Here is precisely the ground on which, political dissensions aside, upright men should unite as one to combat, by all lawful and honest means, these progressive abuses of legislation. The respect due to constituted power cannot prohibit this; unlimited respect and obedience cannot be yielded to all legislative measures, of no matter what kind, enacted by this same power. Let it not be forgotten that law is a precept ordained according to reason and promulgated for the good of the community by those who, for this end, have been entrusted with power. Accordingly, such points in legislation as are hostile to religion and to God should never be approved; to the contrary, it is a duty to disapprove them.”
Pope Leo XIII in Au Milieu des Sollicitudes 24 (1892)
It seems this great pope had the vision to forseee the outright assault launched against the Faith by that spawn of Satan, Barack Obama.
Bob....very good quote and how applicable and as you said prophetic. We have reached the century where the atheistic and fascistic state has decided to take off the mask. The pro-death forces of the NWO have not changed since the French Revolution. I believe that we will be entering a new age of martyrs. Obamacare's mandate is just the tip of the iceberg and Catholics will be in the first wave of casualties. The Roman Empire was converted due to the heroics of the martyrs perhaps Our Lord is asking the same of our current generations once again.
