No,we’re not a Catholic country. It was designed that way by the by the pilgrims who had seen what happens when there is a state religion, where the citizens are taxed to support the church.
there can be good and bad religious rulers.
the article says that the ideal ruler is a monarch in a
catholic country. Henry the eighth, for instance?

Do you seriously believe that we don't have a "state religion" now?

“”It was designed that way by the by the pilgrims who had seen what happens when there is a state religion”

The pilgrims did not design anything and the puritans persecuted Catholics

“”Henry the eighth, for instance?””

He was anti Catholic in the end-a closet protestant
