"*No it isn't. Pope Leo does not say a State must declare Jesus is Lord."
How could you possibly read the two paragraphs of Immortale Dei that I posted and come to this conclusion??
Paragraph 6:
"As a consequence, the State, constituted as it is, is clearly bound to act up to the manifold and weighty duties linking it to God, by the public profession of religion."
The state must profess religion.
"Since, then, no one is allowed to be remiss in the service due to God, and since the chief duty of all men is to cling to religion in both its teaching and practice-not such religion as they may have a preference for, but the religion which God enjoins, and which certain and most clear marks show to be the only one true religion -- it is a public crime to act as though there were no God."
So not just any religion, but the true religion.
So what religion is true? (if you can't answer that question then go back to your Catechism)
Paragraph 7:
"From all these it is evident that the only true religion is the one established by Jesus Christ Himself, and which He committed to His Church to protect and to propagate."

* Well, for starters, I came to that conclusion because the Pope didn't say a State must declare Jesus is Lord.
