Do you need any help comprehending my earlier posts regarding the value of statistics and projecting the future from them?
Protestant America did very well in the first 100 years. I would be happy if it returned to these practices; however the New Deal and the Great Society, two projects invented and put through by Protestants, foreclosed on the possibility. That is the chief failure of American Protestantism, again, as I explained before. There are others. For example, the failure to end slavery other than though the Civil War would not be possible under a Catholic leadership; the failure to end abortion today is rooted in Protestant inability to provide moral leadership.
To preserve individual freedom a nation must have an anthropological view that is correct. Protestant view is not correct: for example, it separates works from faith and has a legalistic view on the Holy Scripture; this is why we as a nation could not protect either our borders or our freedom. We therefore are looking at an historical shift away from the Calvinist value set that dominated the past two centuries and toward a more Catholic value set. You mentioned Europe, but I don’t think you did so other than as a cliche; the reality is that Europe, it seems to me, has lost its ability for renewal, and, as happened many times before, will have to rely on American leadership in these matters. If you need me to elaborate on this or on anything else you missed in my earlier posts, I’ll be happy to.
Actually Protestants voted against Roosevelt in 1940 and 1944, and against Truman in 1948, against the dems in 1952, and 1956, and against JFK in 1960.
Three times they voted democrat, against all but six times for Catholics, and you think the anti-democrat voters are the problem?
If America voted like it’s original Protestant people, then we wouldn’t be in this situation, Catholics on the other hand almost always support the democrats, and while the Catholic percentage of the population won’t grow, the Catholic vote will be moving even farther left than it is today.
I was right though, you want America ended and replaced as a European, Catholic nation, closer to what you came from.
That has been the Catholic influence since they started immigrating here.
