Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would see the American government outlawing a priest from doing his job.

I am currently researching what happened in Henry VIII's takeover of the Catholic Church in England.

What is happening is so similar I am almost gob-smacked.

They have plenty of precedent for their attitude to the Catholic Church...the Jacobins, the Bolsheviks, the Mexican revolutionaries. At least they aren’t trying to have Catholic priest hanged, drawn, and quartered like Queen Elizabeth I of England did.

And to think that over 50% of the Catholic voters voted for Bambi.

And I am afraid that, if he were to run for the third time, he can depend on their vote again.
