First He Attempted to Appropriate Civic Nationalism

Now he's trying to appropriate American exceptionalism.

Friends, America is alive in her saints! We have so many — mystics and missionaries, martyrs and immigrants, refugees and exiles. They came from everywhere to share their gifts and make this country what she was meant to be, a light to the nations!

America 2.0

The pledge is a product of union by coercion, and a creed for the American Empire. Catholics should have been working to resist its spread, instead of trying to improve it superficially. We see the same today with Archbishop Jose Gomez and others, and their attempt to recreate civic nationalism.

In 1893, when Americans recited the Pledge of Allegiance, they said “. . . one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The wording stayed that way for more than 60 years – until the Knights of Columbus intervened.https://t.co/Rcv8hjErA9
