“”Thomas Paine, John Adamas (Unitarists), Bejamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson (Deists) did not write a triniatrian Christian doucment.””
They set up a system of false liberty that is counter to Orthodox /Catholic teaching
Pope Leo XIII recognized much of this and knew the Reformation was the driving force behind this heresy
From Pope Leo XIII’s Encyclical DIUTURNUM
“On the other hand, the doctrines on political power invented by late writers have already produced great ills amongst men, and it is to be feared that they will cause the very greatest disasters to posterity. For an unwillingness to attribute the right of ruling to God, as its Author, is not less than a willingness to blot out the greatest splendor of political power and to destroy its force. And they who say that this power depends on the will of the people err in opinion first of all; then they place authority on too weak and unstable a foundation. For the popular passions, incited and goaded on by these opinions, will break out more insolently; and, with great harm to the common weal, descend headlong by an easy and smooth road to revolts and to open sedition. In truth, sudden uprisings and the boldest rebellions immediately followed in Germany the so-called Reformation, the authors and leaders of which, by their new doctrines, attacked at the very foundation religious and civil authority; and this with so fearful an outburst of civil war and with such slaughter that there was scarcely any place free from tumult and bloodshed. From this heresy there arose in the last century a false philosophy - a new right as it is called, and a popular authority, together with an unbridled license which many regard as the only true liberty.”
When our Lord Jesus Christ Who alone has the authority, righteousness and power to rule the nations with a rod of iron comes, then sincere hopes for righteous dictators, monarchs and religious authorities will be fulfilled.
Until then our own form of government in the U.S. is by far the best man can do.
And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. – Revelation 19:11-16
