Entry: Banishing Nostalgia Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/banishing_nostalgia#14121 Post contents: I would think that anyone who admires the US founding would be horrified at the suggestion that a society needs to recognize the "unique truth" of Catholicism!! Thank god there were no ultramontanist theocrats among the Founders who would have confused liberty with license. As for J. C. Murray, he was as anti-American as any pre-Vatican II Catholic, since he argued that the Founders were woefully ignorant of Catholic Natural Law. My only advice: if the Catholic Right hates American traditions of liberty and republicanism so much, they can always retreat into the imaginary ancien regime of their minds and leave the rest of us alone.
