As the links says

Nice try -- the "link" is to a Freerepublic posted thread, which has as reference a link to another FR thread. Just circles. And do you claim that this is all "official"?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Not sure what you're talking about.

The link gives excerpts of Arminius' writings wherein he asserts his position that the government is sacrosanct, even over church authorities.

I can understand Roman Catholics defending Arminius; he was very nearly one of them. And as evidenced by his opinions, he shared with Rome a peculiar attraction to authoritarian, dogmatic bureaucracies.

I had no idea that the good Dr. E. was able to deduce the closely guarded secret that Free Republic is really a Vatican owned and directed website. Do you think that Jim Robinson is a Vatican operative?

I suppose that Jim Cardinal Robinson (secret Vatican agent, diocese of Free Republic) has a ring to it.

There's actually more to it than that. The linked Free Republic thread is actually an anti-Catholic VANITY thread by a poster who was BANNED for being an anti-war moonbat.
