I find it fascinating that a purely rational, thoroughly documented article about Catholicism’s influence on American democracy is met by hatred, derision, and overt bigotry; one hate-mongerer even called Catholics, “fifth columnists.”
Yet for all the frothing, slobbering, knee-jerk hatred, there’s not a single rational thought represented by these anti-Catholics.
That's not an accurate statement.
Exactly.

Really? I find it fascinating that anyone who dares disagree with the author’s opinionated premise that “Democracy is not a child of the Reformation” is labeled with promoting hatred, derision, and overt bigotry; hate-mongering, frothing, slobbering, knee-jerk hatred, not having a single rational thought represented and anti-Catholics. A little bit of over reaction there???
“there’s not a single rational thought represented by these anti-Catholics”. Here’s a thought. Those anti’s ought be thankful they weren’t around in 1599, a time when Cardinal Bellarmine, a member of the Roman Inquisition could get his hands on them.
what’s incredible is that they do not even bother to read. That’s true about their reading of scripture, history etc. etc.
