Stand by fellow fisheaters, times are getting interesting.

Here's the initial story: http://www.ucanews.com/news/us-court-orders-priest-to-reveal-confessional-details/71361

No Virginia, no matter what he hears "in the box" a priest CANNOT divulge it. That's the end of the story, He may pass some information on to the police (Suzy Creamcheese is in real danger, might want to keep an eye on her for a while) but he CANNOT be more specific than that. PERIOD.

This isn't something new either, nor was it cast to the wayside in Vatican II. It's always been this way.

So for the courts in Louisiana to demand otherwise is persecution. If not than please tell me what the hell it is?

Take this, add on the ACA mandate that has employers paying for contraception and abortions, throw in a few court rulings regarding the rights of LGBT's to override Church teaching, season the mess with some Catholics In Name Only (CINO) who happily chirp that the Church needs to enter the 21st Century and voila! We now have the basics of persecution heading our way.

If that sounds over the top, just wait a bit. It won't matter who is in the Oval Office, we're screwed.

God's will be done, may He have mercy on us all.
