The most important point is to understand that when a Catholic talks about liberty or freedom, it is not individual liberty that is meant, not the freedom to live one's life as a responsible individual with the freedom to believe as one chooses, not the freedom to pursue happiness, not the freedom to produce and keep what one has produced as their property. What Catholicism means by freedom, is freedom to be a Catholic, in obedience to the dictates of Rome.

"Catholic civilization is the structuring of all human relations, of all human institutions, and of the State itself according to the doctrine of the Church." The other name for this is called "totalitarianism," the complete rule of every aspect of life.

All one has to do is read Ratzinger's "global authority" enclyclical to understand the truth of what you've written.

The counter Reformation never ended.

Nice website, too.

It must get tiring deliberately misrepresenting this paragraph every other week.

Do you really think that no one's heard of international law before?
