Without it, the public will vote themselves an indefinite supply of “bread and circuses”.

That's exactly the point Voris was making.

I hardly think that there's a crowd of Catholics roaming the countryside looking for a monarch. This is a tempest in a teapot, to the great satisfaction of some, I'm sure.

The point that I am making is that rather than a focus on restricting the people, and who can participate in voting -

He should focus upon restricting the government back to the Constitutional limits whereby there is no enumerated power under which they would hand out “bread and circuses”.

With Government back in its proper role (limited, enumerated) there is really no reason to get all crazy and say that “unless you agree with me and my morality - no vote for YOU!”.

That is not a functional Republic - if the giving of the vote is dependent upon agreement with the powers that be - that is a sad sick joke of a Republic.

Sort of like “Only members of the Communist Party get to vote”. Would that be a Republic?
