One more thing you may have missed.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.." These are the very first words of America's "Bill of Rights" and were meant to warn us never to allow any religious establishment the opportunity to influence the operation of our government. These words were in fact deliberately placed in the U.S. Constitution by our founding fathers to protect us from the Roman Catholic papacy and its bishops who had infiltrated European monarchies, and were ordering the burning alive of Protestants, Jews, and Muslims in public "Inquisitions" where non-Catholics were killed, tortured, or sentenced to the rowing galleys of slave ships for the "crime" of refusing to accept the doctrines of the Catholic Church and it's papacy. The papacy followed the Protestants to North America and used Jesuit priests to convert Native Americans and use them to assist the French military in their raids upon New England colonial settlements to capture men, women, and children who then were marched to Canada and sold as slaves to wealthy French Catholics. The founders knew that the papacy would attempt to gain influence in American government, and they therefore arranged for a legal separation of church and state while supporting a permanent bond between God and state.
It would be nearly two centuries before the U.S. finally saw it's first Catholic president and only two decades later when another person raised in a household headed by a strong Irish Catholic father, would also decide to run for the White House. Aware of the liabilities of being a Catholic running for the White House, Ronald Reagon joined the Episcopal Church which functions similarly, but does not observe the papacy. While this president occupied the Oval Office, another Irish Catholic held the position of Speaker of the House. The fact that these two Catholic raised politicians controlled two of the three branches of the U.S. government didn't go unnoticed by the Holy See in Rome. The president was soon summoned to the Vatican for an audience with the pope. The president met with Pope John Paul II in the Vatican on June 7th, 1982, in an unrecorded meeting to express his solidarity with Rome on many political and social issues. It was quickly arranged for Jesuit legal advisors to act on completing the tasks necessary for establishing official recognition of the Catholic Church by the U.S. government, and on Jan. 10, 1984 Congress did in fact make a "law respecting an establishment of religion" and created an official U.S. Embassy to the Holy See in Rome, and appointed an official Ambassador to the Holy See, all paid for with U.S. tax dollars.
DECEPTION: Reagan was our most Constitution oriented president.
THE TRUTH: Reagan realized our Founders' greatest fear.
Ronald Reagan was probably the most popular president in modern history, and was cheered by both political parties when he entered Congress to speak. As an Irish American, he was raised to revere the Roman Catholic Church and its papacy. His Catholic upbringing prevented him from seeing anything wrong with the Roman Church or papacy that had so relentlessly tried to destroy this nation created for the purpose of establishing religious freedom for Protestants fleeing the evil Catholic Inquisitions going on in the cities of Europe. It's unfortunate that President Reagan did not take the time to review the provisions in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights preventing religious entities from influencing the operation of our government.
On Thursday, September 24th, 2015, at a joint meeting of Congress presided over by America’s Catholic Vice President Joe Biden, and America’s Catholic Speaker of the House, John Boehner, the new Jesuit supreme leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis I, delivered a speech to both houses of Congress. His speech was interrupted by many standing ovations by all members present as he laid out his bold new vision for America on numerous political and cultural issues. America's presidents now regularly travel to the Vatican to consult with the pope on important U.S. political and social matters. It's incredible that President Lyndon Johnson's 501(c) tax code amendment of 1954 kept Protestant churches from stating their political opinions on government matters, while the Catholic Church has been allowed unlimited access to meet with and advise top U.S. government officials since 1984.
