Ireland's attempt to persecute the Catholic Church

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/09/04/ireland.vatican.sex.abuse/index.html

This law will pass.
More laws like this in other countries will pass.
Priests will be thrown in jail because they will obstruct justice rather than break the seal of confession.

Also related to the persecution:
Priest will not marry gays and be thrown in jail.

Already happend:
Catholic adoption agencies forced to close down because they do not adopt to gay couples.
Catholic sports announcer in Canada was fired because of his beleifs about gay "marriage", which he posted in his own personal time.
Priest in Croatia serves three month jail sentence for anti-gay "hate speech".

It will get worse. Just wait. You can tell by the comments below the CNN article.
