The only Protestant nation ever created, was the greatest nation ever created.
Where is the word Protestant in the Constitution.
America is a Republic not a Protestant Theocracy.
Sweden?
Norway?
Finland?
Denmark?
England?
Scotland?
Wales?
Last time I checked they were all officially Protestant nations and at least 6 of them existed as such centuries before America became a nation at all.
Greatest Britain?
Byzantium, the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Renaissance Italy were all great nations much like the United States came to be politically, survived for much longer that the United States has so far done, and gave the world the cultural treasure beyond comparison to the post-reformation cultural decadence that passes for modern culture. All these were institutionally Catholic.
The United States is a great country. As one Catholic thinker, G.K. Chesterton, described it, we are a nation with a soul of the Church. It is true that it was founded and at the time populated largely by Protestants. In great part the American success is due to the fact that the founding fathers expressly avoided the peril of one Protestant sect dominating it, or even Protestatism as a whole dominating it. It is also true that over time America became more Catholic, and now we see disintegration of Protestatism and ascendance of Catholicism as the only consistent voice in defense of human dignity, right to life, right to practice religion publicly, and right to local governance. Funny how things turn around.
