It was inevitable that the Protestant energy that created America’s greatness would be spent at some point, and now it has. For the past 50 years or so America cannot be described as Protestant country. It has become a country where many Protestants live.
To us Catholics it means two things. First, while our dispute with the Protestants is doctrinal, our dispute with the secularists, moneychangers at the helm of the economy and the political whores in Washington is existential. We simply do not share goals or meanings of words with them. We could co-exist, despite mutual acrimony, with the Protestants. With the atheist trash, either we win or they win, but we cannot coexist.
Second, we Catholics all of a sudden are at the forefront of the struggle, as one authentic Christian Church that is not going to quietly dissolve into irrelevance like the Protestants did. Future America is either Catholic or barbaric. In my humble opinion.

No wonder a majority of Roman Catholics voted for Obama. They want illegal immigration from our southern borders to continue to further swell the ranks of Roman Catholics on welfare.
It can be argued that as Roman Catholic influence has increased in this country, this country has devolved into secularism, apostasy, licentiousness and moral ambivalence.
Temperance was a Protestant societal goal which was overthrown by Italian mob and Irish liquor industry special interests.
From 1930 to 1968 the Hays office in Hollywood wrote and enforced the Motion Picture Production Code which set industry censorship guidelines that governed the production of U.S. motion pictures released by major studios. This code was created by Will H. Hays, a Presbyterian. The Hays office was closed in 1968 by Jack Valenti, a Roman Catholic who came to Hollywood from Washington DC in 1966 to head the MPAA.
When we wonder why movies stink as much as they do, in great part we have Jack Valenti to thank for it.
So, Annalex, you can long for a return to the Inquisition all you want, as your earlier post told us. Americans can be thankful that even though the PR from Rome says one thing, the facts are quite another...
“Future America is either Catholic or barbaric. In my humble opinion.”
You act as if those are mutually exclusive. I suggest you look at Mexico. It is both Catholic AND barbaric.
I suggest, and evidence supports, that if you ever accomplish an America without Protestant religious tolerance, you will get a Catholic and barbaric country.
