They set up a system of false liberty that is counter to Orthodox /Catholic teaching

You will find me 100% in favor of the United States' Constitutional Republic and 100% against theocracies.

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 I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

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

God's Name is I AM.

“”Until then our own form of government in the U.S. is by far the best man can do.””

Ah yes, legalized abortion ,pornography,soon to be legalized gay marriage etc... you name and it and more will be here soon all under the guise of false liberty,dear sister.

More from another encyclical “IMMORTALE DEI” from Pope Leo XIII....

“In the same way the Church cannot approve of that liberty which begets a contempt of the most sacred laws of God, and casts off the obedience due to lawful authority, for this is not liberty so much as license, and is most correctly styled by St. Augustine the “liberty of self ruin,” and by the Apostle St. Peter the “cloak of malice.”(23) Indeed, since it is opposed to reason, it is a true slavery, “for whosoever committeth sin is the slave of sin.”(24) On the other hand, that liberty is truly genuine, and to be sought after, which in regard to the individual does not allow men to be the slaves of error and of passion, the worst of all masters; which, too, in public administration guides the citizens in wisdom and provides for them increased means of well-being; and which, further, protects the State from foreign interference.”

We all better start praying very hard for this country to cease abortion and all the other moral atrocities

I agree. But I disagree that the country was founded on a Document calling on a Christian (Trinitarian) Deity.
