Political alt-history question: What if Catholicism hadn't come to the US?

[Sean Renaud]

Or ideally it would never come as disastrously close as it has.

Obviously, so he could resort to ad hominem attacks before retreating into the sort of debate style most of us left behind when we graduated from grammar school.

To be fair, the question might have come up in his sophomore social studies class.

Maybe if he was home-schooled by autistic marmosets.

When was that?

The US would be more like Canada and Australia.

Now stay on topic.

Oh what a dream. A united Anglophone empire still extant today. Think of the fucking power. No WWI or II. Who would dare go against the Empire. No Napoleonic war, same reason. We could be damn close to a one world government with English speakers calling the shots.

Oh what a dream.

Except for the Irish, Catholicism had little impact on the US' development. The tiny population of Catholics eventually gained some rights. Without them perhaps the US could have become a puritan theocracy. Except the worship of Mammon would have got in the way of a true theocracy, IMO.

Good to see you're out of the hospital after your epic ass destruction. Did you say hi to botany while you were in there for me?

You're on drugs.

Catholicism is the very antithesis of Christianity.

 

[Hypoxia]

The thread you bumped is only a year and a half old. Didn't dig too far, eh?

Catholicism is the very antithesis of Christianity.

No such thing as "Christianity" exists. We see zillions of sects that claim to follow Yeshua or Saul/Paul or Lord {JHWH} or The Naked Daniel Christ or the Archangel Moroni, each with their own collections of more-or-less biblical texts to justify their heresies, hatreds, and atrocities. Roman Catholicism, split from the Orthodoxoi, is merely the most organized branch, and IT is fraught with competing sects also.

"Sects, sects, sects -- is that all you priests think about?"
