Crusading Philologist,
No problem!
With regard to your statement on the relationship between the virtue of piety and the reverence which should be had -- if any -- towards the laws of one's nation, certainly, we should praise those which are good, but I also think we're free to criticize those which are unsatisfactory or are even evil. I think that, by God's will, if and when the United States becomes a Catholic nation, the Constitution should be amended (corrected, in fact) to promote, protect and defend the Catholic religion. Indeed, the State has a moral obligation to offer public worship to God, and the United States has been sorely lacking in this regard for nearly two and a half centuries.
Very quickly, I would also note that I think our "freedom of the press" needs to be modified in so far as so much defamation and rumor-spreading is allowed to be published, not to mention the many gravely sinful (i.e. promoting immorality) books being widely promoted by the media. I will have more to say on this matter tomorrow.
