Some Christians decry the deism of our Founding Fathers, claiming that outright anti-Christian principles lie at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, crippling from birth our beloved republic.
Here
philosopher Timothy Gordon forcefully disagrees, arguing that while
anti-Catholic bias kept them from admitting their reliance on
Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits, our Protestant and
Enlightenment Founding Fathers secretly
held Catholic views about politics and nature.
Had
they fully adhered to Catholic principles, argues Gordon, the
“Catholic republic” that is America from its birth would not
today be on the verge of social collapse. The instinctive Catholicism
of our Founders would have prevented the cancerous growth of the
state, our subsequent loss of liberties, the destruction of families,
abortion on demand, the death of free markets, and the horrors of
today’s pervasive pagan culture.
In
Catholic
Republic,
Gordon recounts our nation’s clandestine history of publicly
repudiating, yet privately relying on, Catholic ideas about politics
and nature. At this late hour in the life of the Church and the
world, America still can be saved, claims Gordon, if only we soon
return to the Catholic principles that are the indispensable
foundation of all successful republics.
