This is the comment you made that I was replying to. Looks like your original Post was deleted by the Mods.
Apparently you believe that Newt thinks the Pope supersedes the Constitutional principles of the Founders. I have no idea where you get that from and your reply to me made no sense.
Vote Ron Paul if you like, but it just means another term for Obama and the end of the United States as we know it. At least you will have some great stories for the “What if Ron Paul Won” annual barbecue and tin hat beauty contest.
If memory serves, the character Clemenza was a Catholic, not a good Catholic, but a Catholic nonetheless. Might be time to change your handle to something less ethnic.
Religion and ethnicity are meaningless in the 21st century US unless you are an unassimilated fool. A huge portion of our ancestral homeland is secular, hence the fact that it has an atheist president and the Church has had difficulty attracting men for a very long time. Italy ain't the Phillipines when it comes to Catholicism, and my Italian grandfather himself was an anti-clerical agnostic. 100 years ago, the Irish hierarchy was shocked at the lack of devotedness amongst Italian immigrants (especially the men) as compared to the Poles, Germans, etc.
I am a 21st century educated white American. I can choose to believe or NOT believe what I want. The fact is that our founders were no fans of the RCC due to its hostility to our founding principles. See my attenuated tag line as a case in point.
