The Catholic creed!...
The Catholic creed is why “ The Catholics “ were not allowed to write our constitution...
It’s all about “ We The Catholics, “ not “We The People. “
There was no prohibition, real or implied, on Catholic representatives at the Constitutional convention of 1787. Daniel Carroll's presence there alone squashes the notion. I believe that there was one other Catholic there as well, though I don't recall his name. The only reason there were so few Catholic signers is that, at the time, there were proportionately few Catholics here. That's the only reason. Stop sounding like a Know Nothing Party member.
And there is another implication in your statement. Do you aver that it is more important to follow your country or to follow God first? God or country. You choose. Your statement seems to imply that sincere believers (in this case, Catholics) must bow to amorphous concepts of egalitarian politics ("the people") every time. I submit to you that that is a strange notion from the Christian POV. Indeed, it's that very mindset that has led to the collapse of our Christian heritage, insofar as people cave to the notion that we must subsume our convictions in the face of raw poll numbers on a host of moral issues these days. No. God comes first, then our fellow men! If you are any kind of Christian at all, how can you really take issue with this?
