Anti-Catholic Persecution in America: When “Religious Freedom” Meant Protestant Supremacy
National Catholic Register portal reports on five historical episodes of anti-Catholic persecution in the United States, framed as inspirational tales of Catholic resistance during the nation’s 250th anniversary. The article celebrates the expansion of “religious freedom” and Catholics carving out “a place in American society” — but beneath its triumphalist veneer lies a profound silence about the only true source of that freedom: the Social Kingship of Christ and the immutable rights of the Catholic Church as the sole ark of salvation. What the article presents as progress is, in reality, the story of a nation that has never repented of its foundational Protestant and Masonic hostility to the true Faith, and whose “toleration” of Catholics has always been contingent upon the Church’s willingness to subordinate herself to secular, naturalistic principles.
