A Catholic Londoner on "The Last Acceptable Prejudice"

From A Catholic Londoner:
... It has been said that anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice in the US. The same applies to the UK I believe, where it has now been confirmed that anti-Catholicism is the new anti-semitism..

As I said in my previous post on this issue, there is no doubt that the gay lobby is going to continue it's agenda against the Catholic Church and religion in general, having won a victory as symbolic as the forced closure of Catholic adoption agencies. The above article in particular proves this point: that it will become increasingly difficult to openly exercise a Catholic conscience.

So I wonder, how difficult are things going to get over the next few years? I'm not qualified to answer that. However I do know that the Cardinal is correct - this is not the end of the road for the anti-Catholic agenda, which will undoubtedly continue.

The gay lobby is going to roll out it's big guns again on the next big issue of equality, whenever and wherever it may happen.

I propose we as Catholics wheel out our big guns too - namely the Sacrifice of Holy Mass; the Rosary; Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament; pilgrimages; mortification and penance; a healthy prayer life complimented with frequent Confession.

These, I promise you, are more powerful than any hateful words the gay lobby can throw at us.
