National Catholic Register Exalts Masonic America, Celebrates Heresy of Religious Liberty on 250th Anniversary
The National Catholic Register portal publishes a commentary by Father James Hamel, a presbyter of the Archdiocese of Newark, celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence as a “once-in-a-lifetime celebration of our incredible nation.” The article praises the United States for enshrining “religious freedom” in its founding documents, hails the Second Vatican Council’s Dignitatis Humanae as a borrowing from the First Amendment, cites Jesuit John Courtney Murray as a key architect of this “progress,” and invokes St. Thomas Aquinas to baptize secular patriotism as a form of piety. The piece concludes with a quotation from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton urging love of country. This text is a manifesto of the heresy of Americanism, a sycophantic baptism of the Masonic novus ordo seclorum, and a categorical rejection of the Social Kingship of Christ the King.
