Church and State in the USA?

Question

Am I correct ?

1. The US Constitution separates church and state.
2. The Roman Catholic Church dogmatically insists on a union of church and state

Therefore, sooner of later, the US Constitution and the Roman Catholic Church are going to collide on this issue.

If there is no constitutional separation of church and state there must surely be, in the end, a Roman Catholic led United States of America. The problem is that the Roman Catholic church is by its own teachings committed to intolerance in matters related to the Christian religion. For example, the Syllabus of Errors (official Catholic doctrine) condemns freedom of religion.

Answer 1

With good reason, that church and state are separate. The fall of the roman empire was justified, and it doesn't matter what the roman catholic church insists upon at all. We are completely controlled by dogs in the congress and in the senate and by the president of the country. Why not get something right. Elect anyone except Rudolph, Clinton, Romney or McCain, all who are identified with the anti-christ. We have a great chance at getting it right if we do, if either are elected, we are more than doomed again, and big-time. The collision is between us and the elected idiology.

The Constitution of the United States does infer separation of religion and politics. It states that congress shall not have the right to make laws to govern over religion. Obviously we all know how to comprehend the English Language, and it is about time that common understanding took its place in this arena. READ!!!!!!!!!!!! Or, is it possible that we have too many foreignors who do not speak the English Language in office, and if so, they can be removed based on the content of the Constitution itself, forthwith.

Answer 2

1. The U. S. Constitution does NOT separate church and state. It states that Congress shall make no law regarding religion nor the free practice thereof. (The phrase "separation of church and state" was first uttered by Associate Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black ( A Democrat). He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and had a burning hatred of religion in general and a specific hatred of Catholics.

2. There is no documentation to suggest that the Catholic Dogma demands a union of church and state.

p.s. I am a protestant.

Answer 3

No, you are not correct.

The Constitution provides that the Federal Government may not force religious beliefs on the citizens. The issue of a mixture of church and state has been blown out of proportion and context by left wing wangers.

Indeed, if my county democratically voted that we would allow prayer in school or teach Christian beliefs then we would be within our constitutional rights. The thing is, even after the vote, Johnny Law could not enforce this practice.

I hope this helps to clear your question up. I'm not advocating anything one way or the other.

Answer 4

The constitution does not sperate church and state. That came out of the Warren Commision as an interpretation of the consitution, but it is not what the constitution says.

The constitution always has said that it protects all and persecutes none.

Answer 5

Well, it used to be the Romand Catholic Church Presided over the Heads of state, and now they see them selves as a purely spiritual insititution, and not a political one. So what does that tell you about the trend, and where it's going?

Answer 6

if you read the constitution it doesn't say separation of church and state anywhere so you are wrong
