Michael Voris is the favourite talking head of the Catholic Taliban, that motley crew of traditionalists who believe in way-out stuff like “abortion is evil” and “Jesus rose on the third day”. He runs his own online TV station in Michigan and has hair so unreal it could be miraculous....He became a viral sensation after he posted a video arguing that democracy had been corrupted by the stupidity of the voters.

Okay, he may have a point there.

I was personally charmed by the idea put forward by the Time Traveler in Dan Simmons’ “The Century War”:

“. . .every man or woman in America who wishes to vote will be required to read Thucydides on this matter [the Athenians not being ruthless enough in their conquest of Syracuse]. And others as well. And there are tests. If you don’t know some history, you don’t vote . . . much less run for office.”[second ellipsis in the original indicating a spoken pause]

Alex, You’re totally enamored with Catholicism. I swear you probably know more about it than yours truly here. When are you crossing the Tiber? :)
