Clergy would not dare call police on own worshippers

As our politicians become ever-more secular in their policies (anti-life, anti-family and now apparently anti-faith), worshippers must now say: “No more attacks on our religious faith.”

In the Republic, the main parties have had the destruction of faith as a major goal for many years, and have more-or-less succeeded through referenda and vicious anti-family measures which have been swallowed hook, line, and sinker by a largely apathetic population. The Republic is now a pagan state.

This weekend, and next, needs to see Northern people of faith assemble as usual for their regular services and for them to politely ask their clergy to facilitate this.

Men in particular must be prepared to peacefully defend their religious buildings and clergy from any threat or repercussion, not that there will be any – none of our ministers would dare send the police or Army to any church, et cetera, to arrest people who want to honour God, as is our right.

My church is cleaned and disinfected after every Mass – that’s at least 10 times per week – and our congregations wear masks as requested.

All people of faith must stand up now, today, and end this latest round of church closures as such action becomes easier and easier for our political ministers to impose on us the more we stay silent.
