The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA

Nope. The left heavily relies on government to deliver equality.

Catholicism argues for allegiance to Christ through the Holy Roman Church not some earthly authority. It’s pretty clear that’s taken to heart when you look at the system that is the Catholic Church. I mean the pope has his own country?

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"

Catholicism is all about “working with what you have”. Abide by the earthly rules of your government, but your obligation to god is separate.

God/religion/Catholicism has plenty of very easily accessible history in their attempt to govern.

The idea that government and state should be be separate was driven by the desire to be free of the church being completely enmeshed with state.

I was responding to the “leaning left”. I would argue the Church is more than happy to govern but they certainly don’t do it in the same flavor as leftists.
