Well done. But I wonder how much influence these videos really have. The themes were echoed at the July 4 Mass at our parish. We were reminded that religious liberty came to this nation at a great cost, and still comes at a hefty price to many around the world.
While our nation is a little over 200 years old, the Church has been around 10x that long. Through the centuries, the Church has witnessed all forms of tyranny against Christians and the Church itself. What’s at stake here is not a tempest in a tea pot. No, we’re at a crossroads. As Thomas Jefferson said, “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
I applaud the American Bishops for standing up to the tyranny of the federal government. The silent majority will awaken - hopefully before it’s too late.
