The Founders understood that if Catholicism ever gained power in America, it would reproduce the conditions that had led to the burning of heretics, the suppression of conscience, and the political tyranny that drove so many of their ancestors across the Atlantic in the first place.

…..I’d like to point out. That they were largely fleeing their fellow Protestants. Because they weren’t the right kind of Protestants. Any casual reading of a history book would make that clear. That and Protestant America wasn’t exactly immune to Political Tyranny, One of the first official acts of the Protestant Dominated U.S Government was ironically calling on a Private Militia to violently put down a rebellion of their fellow Protestants. Ironically over Taxes. That and Burning Heretics at the stake wasn’t a uniquely Catholic thing. Salem Witch Trials anyone?

Ireland, under Catholic rule, Protestant literature was banned, and state support was given to Catholic schools that enforced clerical loyalty.

Certainly not like the Irish would have any shortage of reasons to dislike Protestantism like a certain next door neighbor of theirs. And Ireland wasn’t reliably ruled by the Catholic Irish until the 1920s. Their whole identity was built off centuries of resisting English Occupation and Protestant attempts at killing them.

I didn’t even have to crack open a History Book to refute those.

To pretend this was accidental is to rewrite history.

There’s palpable irony here. Considering other stuff he writes in this article

ROME HAS SUPPRESSED REPUBLICS

The first major Republic in Europe made a point of murdering and Arresting Clergy and Nuns. Seizing Church property. And Tyrannical suppression of anyone who still held to Rome. Not unsurprising they’d be suspicious of later attempts at Republics. Though the South American Republics must be an outlier and exception of course.

That’s not even considering that the only other Republic at the time of the French Revolution was by his own admission, actively suppressing and abusing a Catholic Minority. Why in Gods name would that convince the Catholic Church to embrace Republics?

All in all. It’s safe to say he probably dislikes Catholics and wants nothing to do with them. And given his consistent positive references to Anti-Catholic laws and the in his opinion fundamental incompatibility of Catholicism with the Republic the founders envisioned according to him.

I can’t help but suspect he likely would willingly endorse attempts to suppress Catholics and violate their liberties if given half a chance.

About the best I can say of him. Is he resisted the urge to label Catholics Pagans, Idol Worshippers, Satanists or some other typical insult.
