Classic "either / or" sales tactic. Modernists always employ this one.

In fact, most of Modernism consists of a bag of cheap sales tricks. It's a yawner after it becomes too familiar.

You boys try to sell your buggywhips to modern populations. Democratic Republics are so far superior to monarchies that peoples of non-democratic states never turn back once they've tasted freedom. "Subjects" are not free, since they cannot determine their own futures; they are at the mercy of the "monarch".

No thanks.

[Unam Sanctam]

It is not "modernist" to be loyal to and support our democratic constitution. In fact, the Catholic Church did quite well in this country thank you very much for a couple of centuries under such constitution -- certainly better than the Church is doing today in many of your former Catholic monarchies in Europe.
