It's so weird that the left has demonized "traditional" values 240822 {post•214}.
NotfooledbyW Aug’22 Viswtt: Using reason to drive the progressive political process instead of the Bible was only a
tradition in America during the first four Presidencies. It was when Jefferson’s high wall of Church and State was standing its tallest.

Separation of Church and State? 240822 {post•903}.
NotfooledbyW Aug’24 Vsocas inserted an excerpt on faith and reason: A truly Catholic perception of Thomas Jefferson. by
Donald J. D'Elia: Yet, Jefferson's false principles in philosophy and religion, which are essentially those of "modern man" in today's consenting-adult society, and his private scurrilities, must be an affront to real Christians. This truth is beyond opinion, despite Jefferson's transparent sincerity. The man why had "sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man" was himself the victim of the most dangerous tyranny of all: ignorance of the Word of God. For Jefferson could not, and modern Americans cannot, declare themselves independent of God's truth.

Separation of Church and State? 240822 {post•903}.
NotfooledbyW Aug’24 Vsocas: I need to draw your attention to paragraph xvii. This is where Saint ding celebrates the triumph of faith in unprovable facts as collected the biblical worldview, over faith in reason by the celebrating the reality that in colonial America children were indoctrinated by the church/state regime of King James
I reckon KJ is probably the monarch most famous for converting a Catholic book into a Protestant one leading to all kinds of wars beheadings, tortures and all the other kinds of abuses that come when a church is aligned with a state.
We can see continued abuses from church/state authoritarianism in the current Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as the suffering of women in America of church/state abortion bans, such has the ban enacted in Texas.
The Catholic Dr. D 'Elia attack on TJ can be read in paragraph xvi. D 'Elia tells us that TJ swore “upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man" with a big target being the Catholic Church in the history of Western Civilization,
It’s too bad President Jefferson is not here to defend our nation against the tyranny of a minority of the Catholic as mind expressed by the Catholic Dr. D 'Elia.
This story is about coming to the defense of Thomas Jefferson and the separation of church and state which is the foundation of our western liberal democracy.
Catholic Americans are split with more than half understanding the concept of separation of church and state with a high wall between them. But the low wall or no wall mindset is represented in the expectations of its most virulent right wing Catholic believers.
