From the Memory Hole Blog:
In a homily delivered on the first Sunday of Advent, Fr. Robert Altier warned his parishioners that the division in American politics presents Christians with a choice between good and evil.
“So we need to understand as we sit here today that where we’re coming to, as much as they have caused — intentionally — this massive division in our country, this is not about Republican and Democrat. This is not about liberal and conservative. This is about good and evil. This is about Jesus and Satan, and every last one of us is going to have to make a decision because if these people succeed in what it is they want to do, understand that those who are going to follow Christ will be persecuted — severely,” said Altier, a pastor at the Church of St. Raphael in Crystal, Minnesota.
I couldn't agree more. The persecution of Christians is coming, perhaps sooner than many believe.
On the other hand, Jesus did say we would be persecuted ... so we cannot prevent it. The best we can do is to be prepared when it happens.
By the way, the Memory Hole Blog is run by former professor James Tracy. If you recall, he became one of the early victims of cancel culture when he questioned the accepted narrative about the Sandy Hook school shooting.
