Read this. She hits the nail on the head with what is going on with all the Pope bashing from the Left and Right.

Wow. Great piece.

I’m with her. She can count me in.

Thanks, Vet!

The author does present the dilemma that many face. Since the founding of the United States and the ideals of the Revolutionary generation spring from the bosom of the Protestant Anglosphere, what to do when Catholicism clashes with Americanism, defined as the ideals of the Founders. The author clearly stands with the current pope over Madison, Hamilton, and Jay. I will stand with the Founders and defend against attacks from both European Socialism and reactionary European Conservatism. Both philosophies alien to the American shores.
