The Catholic Republic: Gordon's Anti-American Rules

Some Christians criticize the deism of America's Founding Fathers, arguing that anti-Christian principles are at the core of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, hindering the establishment of our cherished republic from its inception.

In a bold stance, thinker Timothy Gordon challenges the notion that anti-Catholic bias prevented the acknowledgment of the influence of Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits. Gordon argues that our Protestant and Enlightenment Founding Fathers actually embraced Catholic perspectives on politics and nature. This sheds light on a hidden aspect of their beliefs and suggests a more nuanced understanding of the foundations of America as a republic with Catholic influences.

According to Gordon, if America had strictly followed Catholic rules, it wouldn't be facing social collapse today. He believes that the country's founders, with their inherent Catholicism, could have prevented the negative developments such as the erosion of liberties, household destruction, widespread abortion, declining free markets, and the current pervasive pagan culture.

In Catholic Republic: Gordon recounts our nation’s clandestine historical past of publicly repudiating, but privately counting on, Catholic concepts about politics and nature. At this late hour within the lifetime of the Church and the world, America nonetheless might be saved, claims Gordon, if solely we quickly return to the Catholic rules which might be the indispensable basis of all profitable republics.
