Not sure I understand this. America, though majority Protestant, used to adhere to Catholic doctrines? But Catholics such as JFK groveled before Protestants so as to be accepted, and for Catholic doctrines to prevail? Maybe I’m missing the point of this article.
Voris errs in conflating one form of government (republicanism) with heresy versus his ideal, which happens to be monarchism, in order to make his ideal the only moral option...But there is nothing distinctly Catholic or Protestant about any form of government, there having been Catholics and Protestant monarchies, and Catholic and Protestant republics, all in their turn.
And now, an official Catholic word on the subject:
"The Empire, the Monarchy, and the Republic. By giving one's self up to abstractions, one could at length conclude which is the best of these forms, considered in themselves; and in all truth it may be affirmed that each of them is good, provided it lead straight to its end—that is to say, to the common good for which social authority is constituted."
~Pope Leo XIII, in Au Mileu Des Sollicitudes.
All truths come from the Catholic Church because it is Christ’s! Catholic schools were banned...we had to attend the prottie’s PUBLIC schools, we couldn’t vote or run for office.
When JFK ran, he was questioned again and again demanding that he wouldn’t bring his Catholic beliefs in the White House. It hasn’t changed if you have watched any of the nominations for SC Justices. Keep your Catholic God out of public service or you won’t get our vote. The irony is that all truth comes out of the Catholic Church, regardless of us sinners because the Church is Christ’s Church!
Sadly, throughout American history...some Catholics caved to truth to ‘get along’. Henceforth, we get the Kennedys, Pelosis, Durbins.
