That isn’t our form of government. Our institutions affirm an authority higher than the state. The Declaration is explicit on that point. Harry Jaffa’s work is essential on this point. The vision of man present in our founding documents is fundamentally Aristotelian.

Small surprise for its content, but really how many people actually care about this? More crucially, how many could apply this information in any meaningful way or capacity? Who actually listens to the voice of the Church which has become so publicly discredited. It's likely that many listeners here live in the past and at best a contemporary echo chamber of dreaming idealists. It's not easy to accept that the Church no longer bears it's past influence.

No separation of church and state? Pope Gregory 16 is a bit late and outdated. Who in society respects apostolic authority? Fr. Martin Luther, the Protestants, and the French Revolution made short work of apostolic authority. Now even within the remains of the Catholic Church few listen to the clergy and many clergy don't even preach what the Church teaches officially.

It’s worth exploring because we have to get the principles correct now to know where we need to go and to identify what we can do now if the ideas are in fact pleasing to God. The fruits of our labor likely won’t be an officially confessional nation in our lifetime, but it can lay the foundation for a later generation to build/rebuild upon. And certainly, no secular government today cares what the Church says, but (i) governments have always come and gone, and (ii) the recognition of the Church’s authority and the level of dignity of its leaders has been as poor as it now many times throughout history. We can’t mistake influence in a particular point in time, namely the present, as equivalent to or indicative of the veracity of an argument. Cheers.

I have some questions. According to the Church, what would a well-founded America look like? Would we have remained under the authority of England? Why or why not? What men would be allowed government offices, and to what degree? (For example: only clergy could hold government office) Could you lose your office if you failed to recognize the Divine Source of your authority? If so, how would this be enforced? Would love to hear specific examples. For instance, how would laws be decided and enforced? Especially very local laws, like what is the speed limit on Smith Road?

Our nations are ruled by puppets controlled by international bankers. Choice is an illusion.

I’m in the middle on this. While the government does receive its power from the people, the people still receive their morality and authority from the church. Isn’t it easier to corrupt the few that govern in monarchs, than to corrupt the millions that “should” receive their morals from the church? This failure of morals has much longer effected monarchs than this country. While depravity is definitely there, there is ultimately a failure of the people and the church. Also the freedom of speech does not say that you should say anything you want, it only says that you can say things without being oppressed by the government. Ideally the government should answer to the church, but we know how this all ends. We have lived that reality too. The Papal States were broken up because the corruption of government. USA is behind in liberalism in comparison to other forms of government. I think there is truth in what you are saying, but there seems to be more to the story than this simple explanation. Help me think this out.

No... You are right. The separation of Church and State was not intended to keep the Church from influencing the government. The separation was meant to keep the government from interfering in the Church. We have not kept this as staunchly as we should've because the government's hand can be found reaching into the Church. Half of this sermon comes to good conclusions but not from proper premises. The right to free speech being granted to citizenry is in no way in conflict with the Church anymore than the heathen choosing a false religion. The Law was first given to Israel as a covenant and not to the Gentiles. When the Israelites broke certain Laws they were cut off from their people or stoned. The Jebusites, the Egyptians, the Babylonians etc. were not stoned by the prophets for breaking the Laws of Israel. In the same way, St. Paul says "is it not those inside the Church we are to judge", and "cast the evil one from among you." The Church then cant hold the governments of the world accountable for not using force against unbelievers when the Church Herself was sent out to gather the Gentiles into Her loving refuge BEFORE Jesus returns with His rod of Iron. Jesus will return and then re-establish His perfect theocracy. If we want the worldly to live righteously then we need to go out and do missions, not mandate that they live according to the mandates of the Church. Its obvious that the large moral laws written on the conscience of every man should be mandated by governments... Consider though how ridiculous it would be for example to mandate an unbeliever to marry according to the Church when he has no desire to make a covenant with God and no desire for the sacrament. Would the church use governments to enforce a law saying that only Catholics can marry? Sticky issue there. 1 Cor 5:9-13

My only question is, is there a form of gov't that is preferred by God? While the liberalism that has come to characterize the gov't we have now is indeed problematic, it was constituted under the auspices of Natural Law and the inalienable rights of man granted by his Creator - the right of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happyness. While I agree that the liberalism we see today is an overcorrection, or an excess of the principles we were constituted on, Humanae Vitae speaks to the human conscious and is in line with a form of gov't that is closer resembling a gov't that facilitates the ability of man to have dominion over the created world, including himself and while we do err greatly as humans, the ability to choose between right and wrong and then submit to the form of gov't we've consented to is important is indispensable. Only then can we truly see the state of man's heart. No gov't is perfect, but a gov't that acknowledges no man is God and no man can inherently claim the authority is given to him by God is preferable to the Law by Inheritance model granted to it's predecessors. God rightly downgraded the Emperor of Rome to be merely a man and the gov't given to man as one given to it by the consent of the governed. To the degree that we detach the will of the governed from the authority of God, we are wrong but there is nothing divine about a king's lineage other than the authority they have which is in no way presupposed to that lineage by God. Only the authority itself

Am studying political philosophy and I admired John Locke so much only to learn that he advocated tolerance to all accept Catholics and ofcourse his ideas influenced much the U.S declaration of independence.

The vague appeal to a monotheistic god, one which the masonic founding fathers of America believed in, is not whatsoever the same as the One True God that Catholicism holds to. The freemasons, whom are naturalists and deists, believe God to be an impersonal being, who set the universe in motion but otherwise has no participation in it. They do not believe that God has revealed Himself supernaturally whatsoever - through revealed theology, through Christ and His Church, etc. Freemasons hold to the idea that liberty is the paramount ideal by which their society is to governed. They believe that man’s will should be moved only by his own self-determination, free from any appeal to authoritative knowledge, except that which his own conscience finds agreeable. This runs completely counter to the natural theological and moral obedience to a Christ-centred state, as it was in Catholic Europe, before the global freemasonic push for freedom of religion. Read the formal proclamations of First Vatican Council. It is condemns these particular and exact ideological principles.

Religion is not for the poor and/or stupid. That is a cope by Atheist to stroke their own egos and believe themselves far more intelligent than they really are. Well newsflash, people far smarter than you and far more accomplished than you, have also been highly religious. That's a fact. The Saints of yesteryear have done far more good for the World than their Atheist counterparts ever did (or will ever do). That's another fact. You can no more have a functional Atheist society than feminist can have a functional society without men. There's a reason why no great civilizations were ever built on such grounds as irreligion or female primacy. On the contrary, you typically only see such disordered ideas like that root in civilizations at the start of their instability and decline. There would be no such thing as Western Civilization if it were not for the Catholic Faith. Just remember that. And Western Civilization is imploding as we speak because more and more people everyday arrogantly believe that they can have a society while abandoning the Church, the very thing that allowed society to prosper in the first place. It won't work. You might think that it's all drivel. Old men and even older dogma. But that drivel is the largest, farthest reaching and longest standing institution in the history of mankind. Nothing even compares. You should think twice before insulting it. Something that billions adhere to, and has outlasted the greatest of human empires - Any intellectually honest person can immediately look at the church and recognize, "Hey... There's probably something to all of this". But keep thinking that religion is for the poor and stupid (at the peril of your own soul).

The irony of this comment is that the entirety of the media-propaganda machine espouses pro-atheism and pro-agnosticism rhetoric. Even the rhetoric you’re espousing of “religion being for the simple-minded” is exactly the type of perspective the media DESIRES to impose on the population of its citizens. Funnily enough, YOU are one who is, in fact, holding to the opinion of the simple-minded, because it is the very perspective that modern media, news, and entertainment WANTS you to have of religion and religious people. Your inability to hold steadfast to a theological system actually makes you EASIER to control. Why, you may ask? Because the moral and philosophical principles you hold to can be much more easily changed and subverted to the secular position that the propagandists in power want you to have. This is why religious people in modern entertainment are depicted as old, out-of-date, senile, ideological dinosaurs. The people in power want you to have no religious system, so you will better conform to the system of morality and philosophy they wish to impose on you through propaganda. So yeah, what a hilarious comment.
