This idea that people are basically good is not true. Precisely! All men are fallen.
Our Founding Fathers knew this and constructed the Constitution in such a way that its system of divided government and checks and balances would corral any desire on anyone's part to become a single authority "with teeth."
Our Founding Fathers abhorred a centralized government and a centralized ecclesiocracy.
Pity some wish to return to their chains so easily.
No king but Christ!

It’s not hatred. It’s concern for Catholics. You can believe that or not.

Even Jesus said that only God was good. Our hearts are deceitfully wicked...

So of course he would be disposed toward, in favor of the Truth of our Lord.Does the truth of Christ include a foreign power regulating American immigration policies and American defense and American allocation of wealth?

Since it seems to me that we both are members of the Body of Christ, how do we account for such basic differences Hosepipe's sheep pens,1 Corinthians 3:4
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

As for the rest, we will evidently have to agree to disagree on the relevance of the Pope's political remarks. On this one I'd certainly prefer you to be right about this pope"s "relevance." 8~)

You said — A more vile glob of anti-Catholic hatred I cannot recall ever seeing.
—
Well, it’s not like Mike Gendron doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I mean, having been raised in it and having come from that position, himself, for over 30 years, he’s not coming at it from the “outside” ya know... :-)
And he compares from the Bible to what the Catholic Church teaches (which he was kind enough to even relate it to paragraph number from the Catechism of the Catholic Church) — so it’s accurate and you can only be complaining about the truth of the matter...

Actually, in this thread it appears to be protestants that are performing that function.

Heretical Protestants are fully as penned up (John ch 10) as heretical Roman Catholics.. no doubt about that.. hopefully your not one of either of them..

Hosepipe's sheep pens,1 Corinthians 3:4.... For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Since you invoke his name, shall we refer this question to hosepipe?
I'd be inclined to trust his testimony on this subject, or any other for that matter. At the very least, I'd take it under serious "advisement."
At least I'd know it was truthful testimony, considering the source.

Does the truth of Christ include a foreign power regulating American immigration policies and American defense and American allocation of wealth? Of course not. Neither does Christ Himself ever speak of such things in such terms.
The only "foreign power" that had anything to do with Christ was the Devil himself. In "the wilderness." The three temptations.
Christ fell for not a single one of them.
And then Satan "went away"....
