You realize that political battles between catholics, protestants, puritans, etc have historically been far more partisan and violent than what we see happening today. Church attendance is absolutely not a panacea for social cohesion with a country.
- evilduck 5y agoThe United States was basically created because of religious splits in Europe and an unwillingness to agree. Constitutional freedom of religion, something baked into the founding tenants of the country, exists solely because religious people clearly can't get along. To see a Catholic espouse church and faith as a social solution in the US is some next level irony.
