SILENT PERSECUTION: C.J. Doyle, Catholic Church scholar, says Church in US in advanced state of collapse amidst record attacks & Church silence. Church on side of workers and free enterprise, he says.

C.J. Doyle is one of the most influential voices in the defense of Catholic faith and traditions in the US. He is the Executive Director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, frequently in the news about assaults on Catholic freedom and liberties, and as an advocate of Catholic faith, tradition and teachings. www.catholicactionleague.org   The high-profile Catholic activist Catholic Action League of Massachusetts notes that some 60 attacks on Catholic Church properties in the US in the latest round have been tracked by groups. The attacks overall have increased lately. C.J. Doyle says the timing suggests there are sinister elements behind the attacks though he won't rush to judgement without the clear set of facts established.   The League recalled two recent desecrations "an appalling, depraved and sacrilegious expression of contempt for Our Lady, for the Catholic Faith and for the Catholics of Boston."   C. J. Doyle made the following comment: "It is becoming increasingly clear that these crimes can no longer be treated as a collection of random incidents perpetrated in isolation by disturbed individuals. The number, timing and frequency of these attacks strongly suggest that Catholic churches and religious iconography are being deliberately targeted for culturecide by the same left wing extremists who are committing mayhem against public monuments across the country."  Added C.J. Doyle:  "These incidents are chilling assaults against the First Amendment. The first religious freedom right is the right of churches to exist and to be unmolested in their persons and property. Public authorities, most especially Governor Charlie Baker, Attorney General Maura Healey and Mayor Marty Walsh, must respond vigorously and forcefully."  "They must condemn these attacks, and must use all of the resources of their offices to identify, arrest, prosecute and incarcerate the offenders. If they do not, these crimes will just continue." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-aidan-byrne0/support
