The Public Persecution of Catholics is here...

Thomas Peters, the American Papist from CatholicVote has some harrowing pictures of Anti-Catholic protestors in Madrid. They aren't just marching and chanting, they are verbally assaulting the pilgrims. Check out his full post, but this picture says it all:

Persecution of Christianity has been rising in the world in the past few decades, but things sure have accelerated as of late. Our youth and other Catholics in Madrid will likely see first hand exactly what that means. 

Let us pray for the pilgrims, for those that persecute, and for our clergy and women religious that will be on the front lines of this in short measure. We must be ready to accept Martyrdom for the sake of our Faith.
