How could you possibly read the two paragraphs of Immortale Dei that I posted and come to this conclusion??
* Well, for starters, I came to that conclusion because the Pope didn't say a State must declare Jesus is Lord.
"Well, for starters, I came to that conclusion because the Pope didn't say a State must declare Jesus is Lord."
Hmmmm.. ok.
Does the religion "established by Jesus Christ Himself, and which He committed to His Church to protect and to propagate." declare Jesus is Lord?
So if the state must profess the true religion, which declares Jesus is Lord, then the state must declare Jesus is Lord.
