The Daily Caller<\/a> reported today on the 10th annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast held in Washington, D.C., early this morning.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy message for you today is a somber one,\u201d said Professor Robert George<\/a>, who lectures on civil liberties at Princeton<\/a>, to a packed ballroom of Catholics<\/a> that included failed Virginia Senate<\/a> hopeful Ken Cuccinelli<\/a>. \u201cThe days of acceptable Christianity<\/a> are over. The days of comfortable Catholicism<\/a> are past. \u2026It\u2019s not easy anymore. There are costs to discipleship, heavy costs that are burdensome to bear.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon enough he\u2019d get specific. George stressed that there are \u201cpowerful forces and currents in our society that press us to be ashamed of the Gospel. For example, if you believe that marriage is the consensual union between a man and a woman, you\u2019re portrayed as bigoted, even hateful.\u00a0\u2026If you believe these things, some forces say you are a bigot [who is] against homosexuality [and] you ought to be ashamed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This warning applies to all Americans–whether they are Catholic or not. There was a time when we really didn’t pay a lot of attention to what our elected officials were doing–they shared our values and we trusted them. Now, if you are an average American<\/a> with traditional values<\/a>, most elected officials can’t hear you. Even if they do share your values, they are so bombarded with a media that has no values and the pressure to be re-elected, they cannot support the values most Americans support. We are in danger of losing our country. The things that we once held dear are not valued by those currently in power in America. Patriotism and faith are considered passe by those in charge of the media and those in charge of our government. If we are going to take our country back, we need to do it one vote at a time. All of us need to get out and vote, and we need to make sure that those people who share our values also vote.<\/p>\n

Pay attention. The next two elections will determine whether you remain free to treasure the values you grew up with.<\/p>\n
