"Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."
It is important to note that at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence Catholics could not hold office, exercise the franchise, educate their children in their faith, or worship in public in the colonies by edict of the Protestant Parliament and assemblies. I get a sense that many on FR would love to return to that state.
Shall we bring up Catholic Church history and practices in other heavily Catholic countries around the world even today, if you're going to go that route?
“We hear repeatedly on FR that Catholics are not really Christian and that they do not represent the conservative values of the FR community.”
Not from me. I don’t know what this thing is you have about Catholics. There is nothing in my writing that confronts Catholics, only what I believe and what I believe about our country and its founders.
You have a problem... this is part of the chaos thing I was talking about. You are the incarnation of ACORN for the Evo community... you’re trying to drive a wedge and it’s your entire purpose.
You willfully and purposely take every comment out of context then try to interject some Catholic bias into nearly every post. I can’t imagine you would be that dense so I have to assume you are determined to cause division.
If no one else is gonna call it, I’ll call it; you’re a troll.
It is my personal opinion this site would be a better place if you’d take your biases and go back to DU where you can preach your division with a grand reception. You might seem moderately intelligent among that crowd but here you’re just a squeaky wheel.
