Infact pretty much every country with a Roman Catholic majority ends up in the bonds of socialism or worse .

Maybe you aren't up on history much, or maybe you think 230 years is a long time, but autocracy or despotism is pretty much the default for humanity whether it's been under paganism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., etc.

Actually I know a lot more about history than the average person does considering I how I grew up. My house was full of every kind of History book you can imagine ,since my father taught it I grew up reading it.

Despotism is pretty much the default for humanity because pretty much humanity refuses to obey God and live by his rules instead of their worldly traditions.

The Constitution of the United States was written specifically for a moral God fearing people by wise men under the inspiration of God. We are losing our freedoms today because people don’t love and fear God instead they love the worldly traditions.

Protestant work ethic built America - personal responsibility as in you are responsible for taking care of yourself and you are personally responsible in helping take care of others around you that can’t (not the typical worldly let government take care of mentality while we siphon off our share while pretending to do God’s will )
