Russell Shaw on Religious Persecution in the United States

"The persecution of the Catholic Church and other morally conservative religious bodies has begun in the United States. As predicted, it isn't - thank God - bloody persecution like the persecution of Christians in many countries. But it's real persecution, and likely to get worse.

"This new persecution currently has two prongs.

"One consists of pressuring individual religious believers to cooperate with public policies inimical to faith. The other prong is pressure targeted at religious groups and institutions to adapt their programs to the promotion of values hostile to the sponsors' moral convictions."

In a recent commentary, writer Russell Shaw reflected on the forms of religious persecution now affecting the people of the United States.
