Unjust? Why, that’s positively ... Augustinian.

My curiosity sufficiently piqued, I’ve seen fit to Google Mr. John Keown.

Lo and behold, he’s Catholic, and quite the vociferous one at that. Can’t quite decide whether to try to co-opt the Founders by claiming Vatican influence or to discredit them, it seems.

Get over it, guys. Our Revolution was a profoundly Protestant act and our Constitution is a profoundly Protestant document, that has led to much good in the world at large.

That is of course why Charles Carroll signed the Document, or why Maryland (A Predominately Catholic Colony) Joined in, or why Catholic France and Spain joined the fighting

That must be because Catholics have no Republic Identity. Or the Fact that the Rebellion as against a Tyrannical Protestant King.

Or Perhaps we Catholics Love this country as much as Protestants do.....

Clearly, if you do a search for "John Keown Catholic" you'll get different results than if you search for "John Keown." If you've got certain prejudices you'll think he's very "vociferous" about his faith.

But that's because you've asked for articles that involve the man's religion. The more neutral search yields a more balanced picture.

More to the point. He's British. And some of them, particularly at Oxford and Cambridge, still haven't gotten over 1776.

“Get over it, guys. Our Revolution was a profoundly Protestant act and our Constitution is a profoundly Protestant document, that has led to much good in the world at large.”

It was a Presbyterian War, according to some of the British.
