I believe they said the power to rule comes from God but Through the people.

You do know that the Church recognizes the House of Hanover, right?

I agree with you on this, but if a Catholic were living in a state that had an established Protestant church, would he be allowed to support this? For instance, say that in this state there are two political factions: one in favor of the established church and the other in favor of disestablishment. Would a Catholic be able to vote in favor of the establishment party?

I wonder how Catholics have felt and do feel about disestablishing the Church of England.

It depends. If they were to disestablish the CofE in favor of atheism, indifferentism, or pluralism, I would be against it, as I think would any Catholic be before 1965.

It's a matter of voting for the system that is better. We cannot vote for something inherently evil, but we can vote for something that is deficient or less than ideal.

Ah the Americanism charges here. I feel perfectly comfortable as a Catholic supporting our Constitution and constitutional government as was written. While I respect the monarchists, constitutional republicanism is not inherently anti-Catholic nor is it Americanism.

The ideals and principles in the Constitution are inherently anti-Catholic and evil. |
