The same people who believe America is founded on Roman Catholic principles, must also teach their children the Puritans, Pilgrims, and Anabaptists were really Catholics.

(Puritans based their theology upon Purifying their theology of all RCC ritualism.)

Catholicism was a cultish minority in the American colonies. Those with English leanings might have favored Anglican perspectives, but if we remember our history, a Civil War was fought to separate ourselves from that form of government.

How about reading and trying to refute the original post, instead of spouting off anti-Catholic drivel.

In several places the Cardinal insists that “a people never so completely transfers its power to a king but that it reserves to itself the right to withdraw it.”

It appears Catholic doctrine insists that because the majority of Christian believers withdraw their power from the Pope, the Pope hardly has the authority to represent the Church before God.

Someone needs to tell clue this over educated blow hard that the United States of America was NOT founded as a democracy.
The United States of America was founded as a Republic.
A Republic representative form of government can only last as long as the people are not corrupt . Once the people become corrupt and find they can vote themselves a way to line their pockets that they forget what type of goverment they had. It isn’t until then that the process starts to be democratic ... trouble is that by then the rapid downward spiral starts until it ends just like every other democracy has ended ...WITH IT”S PEOPLE IN BONDAGE

Clueless just clueless .
I hope this joker doesn’t teach history or government
