I'm only part way through, but as we're already to the founding fathers, I can't believe you guys skipped past Squanto! A Native American taken into slavery in Europe where he learned English and was rescued by... CATHOLIC MONKS. They converted him. From there he made his way back to America where he happened to meet the pilgrims of Plymouth Rock and teach them, since he happened to speak English, how to survive there.

GREETINGS from a Canary Islands descendant Texan, now living in the Great Pacific Northwest in the Native American Reservation of Tulalip, Washington!!! I'm very surprised that you all don't know that the Blessed Mother appeared to George Washington at Valley Forge and showed him the future of what would be the United States of America and how it would reach from coast to coast. I believe that after this encounter he developed a very strong respect for the Roman Catholic Church. That encounter lifted him from the despair that he was experiencing when he went out to pray in the woods. When he returned he gave strict orders to his century not to be disturbed, no one was to be granted entrance to see him. He was flabbergasted when he turned and saw "the most beautiful woman he had ever seen." Check out to the Library of Congress and query "George Washington's Heavenly visitor at Valley Forge", for the information that was printed in a newspaper, that is not existing now, by George Washington's dear friend and doctor. I forgot the dude's name. Pray for us, and all the liberal snowflakes that's "Anything Goes" Washington, and it being the first state to ratify FINAL trimester abortion, up to the moment of birth. This state will probably blow up, Mount Rainier first, and all the Cascade Mountain volcanoes due to the majority of FLAMING LIBERAL ATHEISTS. I am totally serious about this. We really, really need prayers, also Oregon. But there are very many conservatives in our state, but the Catholic Church in the 70s and 80s had a flaming liberal Bishop, his name was B. Hunthousen (?). He was totally into the homosexual agenda and developed "Dignity masses" and managed to disavow just about every straight young Catholic man. He was a total disaster to the Catholic church here in Washington State. Our 3 sons and daughter are non practicing Catholics. So please include my family and my grandchildren in your prayers. Thank you in advance and God bless your ministry this is the first time that I happened onto your site. Sincerely in Christ, Eloise Santo

Speaking as an Evangelical Protestant, I enjoy the Catholic Talk Show. The Southern Methodist Episcopal church was called that for two reasons. The Methodist Episcopal church broke into Northern and Southern branches at about the time that the Civil War began, and remained split for many years. The Methodist Episcopal part comes in because the church was Methodist because it followed the teachings and principles laid down by John Wesley, and it was Episcopal in the sense that the church was ruled and administered by bishops. In the course of time, the name Episcopal was dropped and the northern and southern branches were reunited.

I've gotta clear a few things up about Charles Carroll of Carrollton, guys. First of all, the story about the signature is likely apocryphal, because he'd apparently been signing his name as "John Carroll of Carrollton" for a decade. It's a great story, but it's probably not true. Also, there are two places referred to as "Carrollton" in Maryland. My guess is that Dellacroce was referring to the "Carrollton" in Carroll County, which borders Pennsylvania. Charles Carroll was from Carrollton Manor in Frederick County, bordering what is now called Virginia. Love you guys!

We had an appointed governor (Claiborne), and our original state constitution vested much more power in the governor and courts than other constitutions because the populace just wasn't ready to govern itself.

[@lebbaeusjosaphatraphael9977]

Father Rich seemed to be supportive of the Democratic Party in terms of their economics. However, isn't even their economic policy rather contrary to the Catholic faith ( I am mostly referencing the so called "democratic socialism")? Pope Pius XI has seemed to be quite clear on this issue in his Quadragesimo Anno. Moreover, Saint John Paul II (who is quite often referenced by Father Rich) also has criticized, the less extreme, "welfare state" in his Centesimus Annus mainly on the basis on the principle of subsidiarity. Out of such reasons, and many more, it seems to me like the economic principles of the Democratic Faith seem contrary to our Catholic faith and thus, I would appreciate any further explanation.

[@meganforsthoefel3030]

I've often heard it said that Catholics should be democratically economic, but morally republican. The concept of sharing wealth, resources, etc. with others is a big foundation of the democratic party's beliefs. And as you probably realize, giving of our gifts, resources, wealth, etc. is a huge thing in the Catholic church. (We are many parts, but one body.) The clashes with the democratic party and the Catholic church come about when the democratic party takes it too far, veering into the idea that not only should we give of ourselves, but that everyone should be the same, and therefore we should not give of ourselves, but take from others. This can also lead to socialism, which seems to always fail, in that it appears the society shares, but one person takes advantage of our human need for hierarchy which turns into a dictatorship (or simply a very corrupt ruler). As you can imagine, and I'm sure know, that kind of society leads to the dignity and rights of human persons to be violated. This issue, among all the moral disputes, (such as abortion), is most likely what you are thinking of when you say the democratic party is contrary to the Catholic faith. However, the ideal Catholic society would be socialist-- we would all share with each other. But humans are fallible and sinners, so instead socialism turns into taking, not giving, so in reality (at least for now) it seems best to discourage it, rather than encourage it with how much harm it can cause.

[@lebbaeusjosaphatraphael9977]

@@meganforsthoefel3030 I think it is rather wrong to say that the ideal Catholic Society would be socialist as it is rather clear from the words of many Popes that Socialism is rejected on anthropological grounds, as was said by Saint John Paul II : “Continuing our reflections, … we have to add that the fundamental error of socialism is anthropological in nature. Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism. Socialism likewise maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice, to the unique and exclusive responsibility which he exercises in the face of good or evil. Man is thus reduced to a series of social relationships, and the concept of the person as the autonomous subject of moral decision disappears, the very subject whose decisions build the social order. From this mistaken conception of the person there arise both a distortion of law, which defines the sphere of the exercise of freedom, and an opposition to private property". Thus, if socialism is anthropologically incorrect it would not be the perfect Catholic society. How could one call a perfect Catholic Society a society which completely embraces a mere materialist point of view as well as reduction of individuals into mere cogs in a machine. That is not perfect. And that is not certainly Catholic as it goes against the "personalistic norm". Of course, sharing our goods is important and necessary. However, that should be done voluntarily. Enforced charity by the state is nothing more than a mere coercion and goes against the Catholic principle of Subsidiarity (CCC 1883). Seriously, would planned economy and collectivism be a part of a Catholic society? Collectivism of socialism is in no way reconcilable with CCC 1885, as well.

[@meganforsthoefel3030]

Lebbaeus Josaphat Raphael I think you may have misunderstood me, or maybe I didn’t make myself clear enough. The concept that socialism comes out of, that is, a sharing society where no one is rich but no one is poor, is very Catholic, and so the fundamental idea of the Democratic Party is what Catholics relate to. It’s a difference of little s and big S. The idea is a nice one (socialism) but when it gets put into play (Socialism), problems arise. As I stated, forcing someone to give away their property or possessions in the name of “equality” is definitively NOT Catholic, but because humans are greedy and jealous, that’s what we turn to in order to make it work in reality. As it has been shown through many, many attempts by nations through the years, and as I attempted to say before, Socialism is only a path towards defiling the dignity of human persons. Therefore, a planned economic system taking from its citizens would never work, especially not as the “perfect Catholic society.” I apologize if I made it sound that way; I attempted to make this clear. So in this sense, Catholics would be democratic economically, that is, giving freely and openly to those people and (moral) organizations in need. However, they would NOT be in line with the Democratic Party economically, as their values include a Socialist society. But it is still valid to say Catholics should be democratically economic and morally republican for this reason: the Republican Party is highly individualistic. This is absolutely fine, even desirable, when talking about human dignity and nearly everything involved with it, except for the economy. If we are individualistic when we approach the economy, that leads us to a greedy society where the poor and in need are forgotten, or worse, ignored. In this sense, we need a balance of both parties to keep ourselves out of either extreme. (And of course, when doesn’t God lead us towards the happy medium? I hope you don’t take this as me making it sound like we should be complacent. Rather, I mean to say God has always led us to take the ideas and traditions that were beneficial from either side, instead of swinging to one or the other. Look at how Jesus ended the many rules Jews were required to know and follow! But he didn’t get rid of the 10 commandments, or the ideas that started those laws. He took the good from either side.) I want to reiterate myself in a different way to make sure I am clear about this: a Socialist government, unless everyone were perfect and never corruptible (AKA we would all have to be God which of course will never happen), would absolutely not be a perfect Catholic society. A society-wide agreement to be socialist, that is, freely giving, could be the perfect Catholic society, (but this also requires everyone to be faithful and humble, and for no one to grab at the opportunity for power.) I believe I tried to mention this but didn’t explain it enough: one of the reasons Socialism fails is because the society agrees they are socialist, but then someone gets greedy and takes power. The society accepts it because humans work best in hierarchies- that’s why we have apostolic succession- but since the person was corrupt enough to take power in the first place, they will of course also be corrupt enough to take advantage of the citizens. So I agree with you, and I also disagree with you. I hope this brings some more understanding to my comments before. Thank you for such a knowledgeable and insightful response!

[@lebbaeusjosaphatraphael9977]

@@meganforsthoefel3030 Well, thank you for explaining your point of view more. I think that the problem or the misunderstanding arises with the definition of socialism. I think that classifying sharing with others or rather just being a charitable person as "socialist" behaviour would be inaccurate. Sharing with others would not be the essence of socialism, I think. The essence of it is the reduction of human beings into a purely materialistic worldview along with the confiscation of private property (which is essentially against the teaching of the Mother Church. Even Christ Himself was defending His own property rights by chasing away all the money changers in His own Temple). As such, the core of socialism would be unacceptable, just like Pope Pius XI preached “No one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist”. Of course individualism is something rather wrong and inaccurate itself. For example, we can clearly see the wrongs of individualism in many Protestant denominations. However, there is also Catholic Personalism. As Benedict XVI put it "As a spiritual being, the human creature is defined through interpersonal relations. The more authentically he or she lives these relations, the more his or her own personal identity matures. It is not by isolation that man establishes his worth, but by placing himself in relation with others and with God". Indeed, the concept of a Catholic society is personalistic rather than socialistic as socialism, inasmuch it is socialism itself, wrongly groups people together and is able to sacrifice individuals for "greater good", without asking the people what they regard is good for them. That is another essential issue, a human has the ability to reject God and His Goodness. In the same way, a human should be able to reject charity as if everyone is coerced to it, it looses the value of a virtue and becomes some sort of abomination. That is why I think it is more fair and accurate to underpin being charitable underneath Personalism or Volunteerism rather than socialism itself. Saint John Paul II also wrote in Centesimus Annus " Returning now to the initial question: can it perhaps be said that, after the failure of Communism, capitalism is the victorious social system, and that capitalism should be the goal of the countries now making efforts to rebuild their economy and society? Is this the model which ought to be proposed to the countries of the Third World which are searching for the path to true economic and civil progress? The answer is obviously complex. If by "capitalism" is meant an economic system which recognizes the fundamental and positive role of business, the market, private property and the resulting responsibility for the means of production, as well as free human creativity in the economic sector, then the answer is certainly in the affirmative, even though it would perhaps be more appropriate to speak of a "business economy", "market economy" or simply "free economy". But if by "capitalism" is meant a system in which freedom in the economic sector is not circumscribed within a strong juridical framework which places it at the service of human freedom in its totality, and which sees it as a particular aspect of that freedom, the core of which is ethical and religious, then the reply is certainly negative". Thus ending, I think it is accurate to say that Personalism or Volunteerism is able to exist within a "market economy" whereas it is not possible for it to exist within a socialist one, where all human behaviour is regulated by the state; I think that that is also the reason why we see more charities existing in systems which are closer to what Saint John Paul II described as "market economy".

[@josetapia9606]

It began that way. Back in the day, democrats were very friendly with Catholics given both shared belief of racial inclussion (more than hf of Catholics are Latinos or Blacks) and what the needed has to be helped, and many of the democrats were Catholics, and one even became president. John F Kennedy. But this started to change when themes were discussed back in the 70 and 80: On the roles of abortion; And a growing fascination with left ideologies like comunism or socialism, what had provoked many massacres agaisnt multiple religions including catholicism. Things got worse when Republicans become more anti comunist and public opinion changed to a more sympathy side to them. So, Catholics took a stance and democrats too, and in response the Republicans changed their stance on Catholics (remember what Republicans were mainly a conservative ative protestant nationalistic, and were in the past very aggressive against Catholicism) So Catholics twitched sides to the republicas, who, while they do not agree on monetary redistribution, morally they do. Basically, the Catholic/democratics antagonism can be compared to a bad divorce

Interestingly enough, Fr. Rich, there's a very good reason why the Star Spangled Banner is always performed as a solo piece. Unlike other more sensible countries, whose national anthems were composed to be performed by a large audience, we stole the melody from some French romantic piece and slapped the words of Francis Scott Key on top. It would sound like complete garbage if an entire stadium were to sing in tandem, because it covers such a wide vocal range that it would be practically impossible for everyone to hit the right notes. Personally, I kind of appreciate that unique aspect of it. I'm not the most patriotic guy in the world, but the Star Spangled Banner can still draw me into an emotional state, whether it's being performed by Whitney Houston or Jimi Hendrix, and it's precisely because the music was custom-built for that.

It’s up to the parents to teach anything sexual to their children when they feel their children are ready or asks questions about anything sexual Why not have a discussion on the Woke generation

We still welcome migrants into our country if they come here legally. We need to know who we are allowing. To come here. We need to know they are not drug dealers or criminals of another sort What’s happening today is against the constitution. We are a welcoming country with some dissenters but we are also a country of laws.

Now, in 2024, we can all see ALL of the LAWLESSNESS in the USA. It’s noteworthy- President Biden is Catholic.

[@richy11ify]

I am not one, I am a catholic. I can tell you that in my past though i did church research and i have seen these titles on church websites. Methodist Episcopal is a Methodist church that has a episcopal Hierarchy, Like why down here in the U.S.A how we have Episcopalians in Anglican communion. Having to do with having the hierarchy and i am guessing (take this with a grain of salt) that they might still have a priesthood i could be totally wrong.

[@antoniusrusticus383]

Think of Methodists as the Charismatic division of the Protestant Episcopal corporation.

Giving someone a loaf of bread is immediately helpful in alleviating pain, but will only encourage dependence on expecting free bread. A social safety net is fine, but proof that you are trying to do well or proof that you are disabled is essential. A single mother with 8 children is a burden on everyone. A lazy man who scams the system and never has to show a job application or have a re-assessment of their condition is just encouraging laziness. We need to spend a lot more encouraging people to work, and on immigration tracking and control. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

When I hear you guys explain what a catholic political party would look like it sounds like the Republican Party.

[@customarylover3857]

Well, we do agree on a lot of things, yes, but Republicans being Protestants tends to make them more liberal than Catholics (Catholic theology is more conservative than the variant forms of Protestant theology).

[@customarylover3857]

For one, we Catholics believe in greater cooperation between Church and State. Sure, the Church should stay separate and independent from the state, but it still should hold a decent amount of say in State matters. Christian influence makes society stable and civilized, so the Church should play more of a role in politics.

Obviously, none of you have become fourth degree Knights Of Columbus. If you had, the exemplification you go through would greatly have enhanced you’re learning and speaking about Catholicity and patriotism in the founding of our nation.

[@ezmadarlington942]

Let’s not forget, Maryland was Catholic!

[@leoinsf]

The message of Jesus: love your neighbor, help the needy, and accept all people around us as brothers and sisters! The message of the Catholic Church: retire to a pew every Sunday and follow ceremony performed by a priest! Is helping the poor, doing work in a soup kitchen an important Catholic imperative? No! Sin, not charity, is a more important component of Catholicism: a Middle Ages church that hasn't changed since 1500 A.D. Sometimes I think clerical garb and statues are more important in the Catholic Church than people!!!!

The Founding Fathers were Huguenots. They practiced a form of slavery as bad as the Roman empire. Huguenot pirates burned down Havana

[@Blue-cf6fe]

Wow. I didn't expect the liberal sympathies and at the same time shrinking back on the fact that only one party - not "both sides" - has sworn its allegiance to the advance of secularism. Furthermore, the spread if Islam is not something we want in the USA. To encourage immigration that results in that will never benefit the country, the Church, or the Gospel.

[@ignatiusjackson235]

One more correction, Ryan S. and I really hate to do this to you, buddy... George Washington was a Federalist, not a Whig. The Whigs didn't become a factor in the United States until the 1830s. I do hate nitpicking, and most of this stuff is right on the money, but I'm OCD about historical misinformation.

[@CatholicTalkShow]

You got me curious, so I double checked. The official Mount Vernon site says he was an independent and the only President in US history without a party… www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/the-first-president/political-parties/

[@ignatiusjackson235]

@@CatholicTalkShow Ah, yes! My bad. I stand corrected. His administration is more associated with the Federalism of Alexander Hamilton than with the Democratic-Republicanism of Thomas Jefferson. You're right, though.

Overall I liked it, but how do you reconcile some of this commentary with Quanta Cura: I'd like to recommend this video too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4vTfYKci7iAqqc from sensus fidelium 1) this letter is infallible: "Therefore, by our Apostolic authority, we reprobate, proscribe, and condemn all the singular and evil opinions and doctrines severally mentioned in this letter, and will and command that they be thoroughly held by all children of the Catholic Church as reprobated, proscribed and condemned." 2) On the idea that the Church should not exercise authority over the State: "Which false and perverse opinions are on that ground the more to be detested, because they chiefly tend to this, that that salutary influence be impeded and (even) removed, which the Catholic Church, according to the institution and command of her Divine Author, should freely exercise even to the end of the world - not only over private individuals, but over nations, peoples, and their sovereign princes; and (tend also) to take away that mutual fellowship and concord of counsels between Church and State which has ever proved itself propitious and salutary, both for religious and civil interests." 4) Separation of Church and State is a definitively condemned idea. As if it could possibly fall on us as a nation to set limits on Christ's reign... 5) Pagen Rome was successful in this sort of Liberalism, of which religious tolerance was central. From this excellent video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4vTfYKci7iAqqc : "one was permitted to keep his native god when he joined Rome and even to worship them publicly, so long as he believed in religious liberty. No cult would be authorized, which was of itself hostile to the state, nor any that was self exclusive to all others. Therefore Pagen Rome agreed by default to worship the state above all, because if no religion reigns supreme, then that power belongs to the state. If the state is the referee among religions, if it is the referee among the gods, it must be above them all. Christians were offered a gift by Ceasar: you may put an altar to Christ in the Pantheon alongside all the other so called gods, so long as you believe in religious liberty, so long as you believe everyone gets to believe what he wants to believe you're not going to indulge anyone and tell them they're wrong, but above all so long as you believe in the supremacy of the state. We know how this turns up though, Saint Paul insists that this is contrary to the Lord's law, and is martyred for refusing. How are we today, especially in the West, to reconcile our attitudes with that of Paul's when we insist that "Catholic" politicians are not bound to Catholic doctrine, on the grounds that they themselves are simply representing a people - as if their job somehow made them an exception to the Lord's Law, which is eternally true and is revealed to us through the Holy Catholic Church, which "neither deceives nor can be deceived". We are Catholics before we are Americans, and we are bound to the Lord and the Church before we are bound to any secular government.

👆To actually & accurately know reasons for “anti-catholic” stance in pre-USA history (1600-1700s) requires basic knowledge about Catholicism and Papal Rule, then to thoroughly comprehend the Catholic Inquisitions, Reformation Counter Reformation including the Oath & actions of the Jesuit Army.

👆 What you just wrote represents WHY there was an Anti-Catholic stance in 1600-1700s in pre-USA North America. Papal Rule in Western Europe was vividly remembered & vehemently UN-wanted in “the new world”.
