There was a...I think we got disheartened years ago. There was an anti abortion rally in Liverpool in the 70s. 70,000 of us turned up. The headline read "100 pro choice protestors......." The 70,000 were ignored. Similar in Bradford. Then we had a mass lobby of parliament. 20,000. Nothing whatever in the newspapers. Zilch. A couple of weeks later the unions staged a mass lobby of 2,000. Headlines for that "Biggest mass lobby since the war." It was as if we didn't exist. We were turning out in huge numbers and no one knew. Now it could be publicised through the Internet. But people have lost heart. We've become lazy and indifferent. The French take to the streets in their millions and we sit at home and say "Isn't it awful!). I said this to a young French man recently. He was in Paris defending marriage while I sat home tutting. If we won't march at least we could spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament. As much as we can, as often as we can......if we can find it. I'm lucky, we have Adoration every day, Latin Mass every day. For those who don't, it's hard but not impossible. If the church is closed, pray outside it. He's still there.
