How do Canadian Catholics deal with the hostility of the government to religion?

[mdgspencer]

Some events of the last several years in Canada are troubling, such as the occasions when Christians have been arrested for saying that homosexual acts are wrong. And too a judge in Ontario commanded that a Catholic high school admit a homosexual couple to its prom. Furthermore, a bishop was threatened by a tax official for providing politically incorrect teaching to his people. I am asking this on the spirituality forum because this is not a question about politics, but it is a question about the spiritual response of Catholics in Canada to this environment. Of course such developments may well become common elsewhere, but right now I wonder how the Canadians who use the Catholic Answers forums respond to these developments.

I am going to loosely paraphrase a quote because I can’t remember who said it at the moment:
In a land where the moral is made illegal, the only place for the righteous man is behind bars.
