....Voris cultivated controversy last year when he said that democracies should "limit the vote to faithful Catholics," that "the body politic continues to be ravaged by the cancer of ignorant, self-centered voters" and that the "only way to run a country is by benevolent dictatorship" by a "Catholic monarch" during one of his daily "The Vortex" video segments at RealCatholicTV.com.

Oh my.

Did Mr. Voris really state these positions this directly, I wonder?

Are these two statements being taken out of context?

Perhaps it is someone else, but I somehow thought Mr. Voris was pushing for a more orthodox/conservative RC Church, pushing his arguments about RCs, to RCs, and within the RC Church, not what he appears to be arguing for in this article (if this is really what he said).

There's no question that he said it, even though it's old news (he said it last August). I'm just concerned there are blogs out there with names like The Catholic Fascist that say things like this, in agreement with Voris:
"Our democratic system will end in self-destruction because democracy is DOOMED to failure. It stupidly gives the ignorant and the self-absorbed (like liberals) the “right” to vote, when in TRUE REALITY the only possible way we can sustain a voting system is to allow only virtuous Catholics to vote."
