These bishops are facing a real crucible. They cannot and must not comply, regardless it leads to their arrest/prosecution. They have a long line of saints to follow and pray to, those who took the guillotine over cooperation with evil.

This raises an interesting question, viz. 'who owns the records of baptisms of people into the Church?' Is it the Church? Or is it a Higher Authority of the state? Like the Schuetzstoffel? Remember them?
