You can pretend that somehow "the left" is misinterpreting this. Or you can do some research. There are in fact Roman Catholic who are monarchists.There is one in this forum as a matter of fact.
I personally know a few here in D.C.

No one says there are no Catholic monarchists. There's Catholic everything.

The point was simply that this piece distorts their influence and makes downright false charges about other Catholic conservative organizations as an attempt to deligitimize all Catholic conservatives.

They obviously are.

I don't need to pretend.

Or you can do some research.

I already know far more about the subject than this Cocozelli joker does - and I certainly don't claim to be an expert.

There are in fact Roman Catholic who are monarchists.

Of course there are.

They probably comprise about one thousanddth of one percent of the Catholic population of the US - if that many.

There is one in this forum as a matter of fact.

Correct - one.

The eccentric opinion of one individual who has no ecclesiastical authority of any kind hardly proves Cocozelli's thesis.

I personally know a few here in D.C.

Oh, of course you do. Of course.

Here's a reality check: of America's 70 million Catholic citizens less than a thousand are monarchists.

There are far more nominal Protestants in America that long for a racial war in America than there are Catholics who would like to see a monarchy in America.

Neither group represents the whole in any way nor does either group have any influence on the councils of church or state.

To imagine otherwise is sheer paranoia.
