Last Spring, I wrote about Fr. Esper's presentation on television from his book on persecution. These were the steps he outlined. Sadly, I lost some posts in an error on the blog, so the original article is gone. He was on the EWTN series, Women of Grace.
Now, sadly, some of the weird websites into false revelations and hysteria have picked his ideas up. Please avoid those websites. The original research goes back to psychologists studying the holocaust after WWII and coming up with five steps for persecution.
I also looked at this author. Obviously, he is on amazon.com
I repeat some of the information here. These are various ways to say the same thing.
(1) Stereotyping the targeted group;
(2) Vilifying the targeted group for alleged crimes or misconduct;
(3) Marginalizing the targeted group’s role in society;
(4)Criminalizing the targeted group or its works;
(5) Persecuting the targeted group outright.
I think we are in stage four.
Catholics who refuse to face the reality of new laws in GB and the USA should be directed to the myriad posts I have on persecution. Just type in that tag in search.
Here are only a few of my articles: read and think, please.
