First, I will invoke the Founding Fathers, not because they are Catholic; except for one they were not. Second, you're wrong about them all being Deists. The ones most people KNOW were Deists, true -- Ben Franklin, Tom Jefferson, George Washington, and one or two others; but the rest should not be tarred with that term. They were Protestant Christians, many of them clergymen confessing the same Creeds of Nicea as Catholics.<br /><br />You are right about the anti-Catholicism. The American Revolution was more against Catholicism, perhaps, than it was against the English crown, at least in some respects.<br /><br />I will let stand your <i>ad hominem</i> vitriol for all to see this time, though I do not know what I have said or done to deserve such abuse and hostility, let alone libel and slander. Why should the fact that a few Catholic clergy have in the past been involved in sexual abuse scandals reflect negatively upon me? Why should you call me a "sodomite," and what does any of this have to do with the post? May the Lord bless you with some self-knowledge and awareness of your own soul. Kind regards, PP.<br /><br />Pertinacious Papisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213911570586726075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-44783673583921688752012-11-04T09:49:55.815-05:002012-11-04T09:49:55.815-05:00Please find & quote the separation clause in t...Please find & quote the separation clause in the constitutin<br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-3915306225266697602012-11-04T09:34:01.361-05:002012-11-04T09:34:01.361-05:00Don't invoke "our founding fathers" ...Don't invoke "our founding fathers" because at the very most, they were deists, most wouldn't bend a knee, for any god or man, let alone get down on both knees, and all had a rightful, vehement distaste for Catholics and their whore of Rome. <br /><br />Your superstitions have no place in the public forum. Move to the Vatican, or Poland, somewhere that is still backwards enough to allow a sodomite such as yourself and the vile priests you cow to, to exist.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-33607051798628134342012-11-04T08:17:34.730-05:002012-11-04T08:17:34.730-05:00Not Spartacus,

But it came down to opposing the anti-Catholic. I agree in toto with the notion of a Catholic confessional state as an abiding norm. But I sadly concede the realism of politics as the art of the possible, as I've said.<br /><br />Here, too, I think the approach of Judy Brown and the American Life League is as mistaken as it is right-intentioned. What they want is candidates opposed to Abortion under any circumstance, and committed to the overthrow of Roe v. Wade. That's my ideal too. However, I think they're simply wrong in refusing to support, for that reason, any candidate committed merely to the reduction of abortions. When you can make a difference for the better, that's an opportunity not to be squandered.Pertinacious Papisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213911570586726075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-50383430226372100792012-11-04T07:51:35.562-05:002012-11-04T07:51:35.562-05:00All Catholics, especially Bishops, must work to ch...All Catholics, especially Bishops, must work to change America into a Catholic Confessional State.<br /><br />That aside, I have decided not to stay home, drink cabernet, and listen to Vivaldi on election day; I will vote for MittensMick Jagger Gathers No Mosquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879499915093940176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-22453029727216362082012-11-04T06:34:50.154-05:002012-11-04T06:34:50.154-05:00Anonymous,

Even confessionally Catholic states and medieval kingdoms recognized a separation of church and state. And this historically Protestant country never assumed in its history that separation of church and state meant separation of the state from acknowledgement of the Creator and his moral law, as any elementary acquaintance with the words of our Founding Fathers on their national monuments in our nation's capital shows, along with the continued existence of such things as our salaried Senate chaplains.Pertinacious Papisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213911570586726075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-54032130091343425762012-11-04T06:20:29.126-05:002012-11-04T06:20:29.126-05:00Move to the Vatican. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____...Move to the Vatican. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ This is a country where separation of church and state is inherent in it's Constitution.<br /><br /><br />[Note: offensive material was removed from this comment by Site Manager.]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-48636077011690535282012-11-04T06:19:30.549-05:002012-11-04T06:19:30.549-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-61968454501770874532012-11-04T01:18:43.449-05:002012-11-04T01:18:43.449-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
