Southern Americans of today should take comfort knowing that the old Confederacy did have a European friend, and it just happened to be one of the most respected men in the world - not only a head of state, but also the leader of the world’s largest Christian religion. The day will come when Pope Pius IX will be canonized as a Saint. He has already been beatified, which puts him well on his way. When that day comes, Southerners will have a special bragging right, not enjoyed by many nations even today. They will not only be able to boast of his sympathies during and after the great War, but they will also have in their collective possession a relic of the man - a hand written letter and autographed photograph.

Unfortunately, as Catholics "Southern Americans of today" will be expected to believe in and defend both evolution and the documentary hypothesis (which are taught in all modern imprimatured Catholic bibles).

I applaud you for sticking up for Southerners when the rest of your co-religionists consider them lower than dirt, but all those "Southern Americans" are going to get burned . . . badly.

Don't look for peace in Catholicism, folks. It's chaos in there. The Truth is found elsewhere.

“Don’t look for peace in Catholicism, folks. It’s chaos in there. The Truth is found elsewhere.”

The reality is that, there is going to be “ups and downs” in the Christian faith community regardless of whatever church one belongs to. That is the normal process of life itself.
