Any dictatorship is a bad thing. Religious ones just have a more extreme following as the followers are dong “God’s will.”
Revolution And Counterrevolution was written by Plinio Correa de Oliveira - a Brazilian professor who had no authority in the Catholic Church and whose teachings are widely regarded as heretical.
He does not speak for the Church - anyone who knows what the Catholic Church is, knows that the Pope and the bishops (as a group) speak for the Church.
Not even individual bishops have authority to speak for the Church, let alone random laymen like Oliveira.
Does Reginald Firehammer actually know anything about “The Holy Roman Empire” or does he use it because its a wonderful coincidence that 3 left-wing buzz-word cliches can be strung together into a phrase that actually exists in the English Language?
But don't let the facts get in the way: go ahead and read some Bat-Sh*t crazy person and get all wee-wee'd up.
I like how they think they are “The Church”.
The apostolic nuncio for the United States (the Pope's ambassador to the US), has publicly declared that Gruner is not a Catholic in good standing and that he is suspended from public ministry. He has not had clerical faculties for more than 30 years.
Is Reginald Firehammer a real person or is he a creation to make anti-Catholics look stupid?
This site is not affiliated with the Catholic Church in any way, and the presenters openly reject the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
In other words, you are using three non-Catholic sources to slander the Catholic Church.
I’m not a Catholic and I only have one question: IBTZ?
Got that? "Catholic civilization is the structuring of all human relations, of all human institutions, and of the State itself according to the doctrine of the Church." The other name for this is called "totalitarianism," the complete rule of every aspect of life.
Does this mean that evangelical Christians do not seek to structure all human relations, institutions and the state itself according to their doctrine? If not, then why are so many so busy fighting about which candidate will do just that? Are evangelicals trying to reform society and the State after their own faith actually totalitarians?
Catholics are definitely taking over America. I can see it all around me. And they are headquartered in Spring Grove PA 17362
Their leader is Robert.
Robert Ritchie.

Drats. You figured out our scheme. If it wasn’t for you meddling kids...
Well back to the drawing board.
((insert evil laugh here))
This is someone’s warped idea to equate Roman Catholicism with Islam. I would bet they took an article about Islam and replaced “Islamic Worldwide Caliphate” with “Catholic Dictatorship” and “Islam” with “Roman Catholic”, etc.
They are making a false analogy, don’t fall for accepting the premise.
So how much did the Muzzies pay you to post this?
Christianity and theocracy are mutually incompatible, and this has been the experience since the dawn of Christianity. Calvin tried to establish a theocracy in Geneva - and it failed. The Puritans tried to establish one here - and it failed.
A theocracy is where the religious law and the civil law are the same, and the state is governed by the clergy. The only group that does this is Islam (Mormonism would have done it, but the US Army knocked that out of them).
State churches are churches that the state approves for its official functions and as the official recorder of civil acts (marriages and burials, primarily), and are not a good thing. But at least the Catholic Church never appointed a secular ruler as leader of the church, as the Anglicans did with Henry VIII. Being a state church undermines the church and is one of the reasons the Lutherans were never able to fight back against Hitler very effectively.
But it still acknowledges the fact that the Church and the State are two separate entities. Mosque and State are one and the same.
This Catholic would love to set Reginald straight on this issue.
Though I think Mr. Firehammer is full of prune juice, I can foresee something akin to the Holy Roman Empire stirring back to life if (and only if) the secular world remains supine in the face of aggressive Islamic expansion.
And of course, the western world would probably fear the Catholics more than the Caliphate on their doorstep. Perhaps they *should* be fearful. After all, we do have the Holy Hand Grenade.

Hi again, Hank. How are things in atheist-ville? I hope you’re well and doing fine. :)
Awwww....are they all out of Troll food where you come from?
I don’t have any either. Try a nice mosque.
*Don’t bet on the ham though.
