Bishops were not fooled<\/a> by the persecutor-in-chief\u2019s latest time out.\u00a0 Yes, it was a time out.\u00a0 It was meant to rally the troops and stop the opposition\u2019s momentum.\u00a0 When you have Chris Matthews saying you\u2019ve overstepped the line, and you have Jews, Protestants, Catholics, and even liberal secularists jumping on board saying you\u2019ve overstepped the line, it\u2019s time to call time out. <\/p>\nThat\u2019s what Obama did.\u00a0 It worked, to a point.\u00a0 Liberal and leftist Catholics and non-Catholics immediately praised the decision, moved on, and called for us to get back to important things. But the Bishops appear to see this for what it is, a small inching movement toward post-Christian tyranny, where the Church is forced to conform to a government that opposes its foundational beliefs.\u00a0 Many will join, as they always have.\u00a0 Whether is was aligning with Hugo Chavez, the Nazis, Henry VIII, or whatever, you always have those Christians willing to join forces with the executioners that they may avoid being executed.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
But so far, at least enough haven\u2019t been fooled as to comfort non-conformists that the hour of their persecution has not yet arrived.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see how this unfolds.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
