“It seems that the Catholics need to be reminded from time to time that this was founded as a protestant country. Perhaps if they dont like it, they should move to the Vatican and live near their king in a pointed hat.”
It seems that the Protestant anti-Catholics need to be reminded from time to time that this was founded as a Protestant country by Protestants running away from Protestant oppression in Europe. Since all Protestants claim some authority - yet possess none except by acclaim - they can only create societies that go from oppression to freedom to license and finally atheism and complete immorality. This means anyone can come here - including non-Protestants - and the very thought of obeying laws or insisting there are laws becomes onerous to others and their precious snowflake feelings. Perhaps if they - the Protestants - dont like it, they should move to the Vatican and live near the pope they hate.
Oh, now, not all of them. We've debated this matter in the past. And, those Protestant churches that did devolve to persecuting their fellow brothers and sisters had adopted the old State Church attitude of the Roman Catholics. It's the bane of Christians wherever it occurs.
