The nature of man is to be self-absorbed. That is because our nature is fallen. It no longer looks at God. Rather, it looks into a mirror. In fact, it stares into the mirror, totally absorbed, and can think of little else. This is why, if we're going to insist on a system where we're going to elect leaders - if we're going to insist on that system - only virtuous people should be allowed to vote.

And just who gets to decide who's *virtuous*?

Him?

The Catholic church?

Would they decide that only Catholics can truly be virtuous, therefore eligible to vote?

How convenient.

It makes sense within Romanist theology since they believe that men are separated in a chain of being, some achieving higher steps on the chain. Priests and Bishops are at a higher level of being so therefore entitled to rule over the lower beings. The concept of equality of rights being foreign.

That’s why we must be eternally vigilant when it comes to Romanists in seats of power.
