Religious liberty is overrated. Secularism has only produced a secular society; there will be no Catholic society again until Catholicism becomes the guiding rule of government again.
====================================
Sounds like Christianity in reverse. If you want to impose Club Infallible upon any country's population, yes you would need government rule. True Christianity was able to rise up and defeat the Roman Empire.
I just heard an interesting talk about the law of reciprocity. If you give something to somebody, they usually feel an obligation to pay back this act of kindness. I am sure this had a lot to do with the establishment of Christianity. Everybody knows that the government is a cruel master. On the other hand its pretty hard to be mad at people who are the ones looking after and helping the down and out. So the masters of real world politic understand that the hand outs of socialism and communism are much more powerful than pseudo Christianity that got stuck in the quagmire of non stop theology arguments and forgot the basics of helping those in most need.
"Only I can help you" - Club Infallible approved Fatima.
I say its time to put Christianity in the correct direction . Jesus worked the streets and worked man to man. Top down Ivory tower of babel rule in both church and government is a poor substitute. Communism = complete lack of divine spark of personal initiative and follows the dear leader in a most comatose manner. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Club Infallible has inadvertently given permission to the Devil (vision to Pope Leo XIII) to play by the same rules. The King of the World antiChrist simply wants to play the same game as Pope Pius IX, Mr. Infallible the 1st. Instead of a list of prohibited books, we now have a world where publishers will not print any truth that is dangerous to the Satanic empire. Pretty soon the internet will be totally controlled also. This is just one example of the whole spectrum of mind and soul enslavement.
I am not an anarchist, but a Pope has got to know his limitations.
A Christian has got to defend the Christian faith and keep hope alive. I see revival of the Church when they take all its possessions and Christians go back to spreading the word door to door.
