Prayer for the Protection of Religious Liberty

O God our Creator,
from your provident hand we have received
our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have called us as your people and given us
the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God,
and your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,
you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,
bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel
to every corner of society.

We ask you to bless us
in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.
Give us the strength of mind and heart
to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard
on behalf of the rights of your Church
and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.

Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,
a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters
gathered in your Church
in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
so that, with every trial withstood
and every danger overcome—
for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,
and all who come after us—
this great land will always be "one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

This article is absurd. The Cathars were not Muslim supporters. That Muslims spared Cathars and killed Christians was a function of the insanity of the so-called thinking of Muslim mass murderers, not Cathar support.

Not to mention the fact that the Catholic solution to the Cathar “heresy” was to butcher every Cathar, man, woman and child, and exterminate them utterly. And that horror is given a shrug by Catholicism, while any particular Cathar fight is held up as an example of Cathar violence. Well yeah, when the Church is trying to exterminate an entire people, occasionally some of them fight back. But all the more reason to murder every single last one them - even if that ends up being a million people, right?

It was because the Cathar extermination is so utterly indefensible that even today Catholics strive to create the most extreme lies about them to justify it. When they should just admit it was wrong on their part - that they still consider Cathar teaching heretical, but that the Cathars should never have been hunted down over 20 years of butchery and erased from existence - that maybe, just maybe, that didn’t represent what Jesus taught.

But instead Catholics hang on and keep trying to justify that monstrousness even today, which seriously indicates that not much has changed in the Church from medieval times. And to go so far as to equate the Cathars with Muslims is just rank slander. Not to mention that the proper use of the word “heresy” is from within the ranks of the Church - as Cathars were not Catholics, it was impossible for them to be “heretics.” They simply did not believe in Church teachings, that’s all.

And for that, the Church killed all of them them - and argues it was right to do so even today, and slanders their names, their beliefs, their teachings, their practices and their peaceful effects on the populations around them. The Catholics slaughtered the Cathars and the Muslims and the Jews, the Muslims slaughtered the Catholics and Christians and Jews, but the Cathars slaughtered no one and were exterminated themselves - yet the Cathars were the big fat dangerous problem?

Yeah, well, peace be with you too.

Or else.

Yet Muslims were used by a Pope to recover the papacy after he was ousted. Making deals with the devil’s minions always comes back to bite.

I am NOT SURPRISED. For Muslims, their “god” ALLAH is simply SATAN the devil.
