"Vatican" means soothsayer. The "Vatican," or the house of soothsayers is the headquarters for the Roman Catholic Church-State. Their canons, laws, edict, bulls, dogma, etc., govern only those who confederate with it.

Vatican Council II's Constitution on the Church (1964) instructs politicians to use their secular offices to advance the cause of Roman Catholicism. Catholic laypersons, "whoever they are, are called upon to expend all their energy for the growth of the Church and its continuous sanctification," and "to make the Church present and operative in those places and circumstances where only through them can it become the salt of the earth" (iv, 33).

Vatican II further instructs all Catholics "by their competence in secular disciplines and by their activity [to] vigorously contribute their effort so that ... the goods of this world may be more equitably distributed among all men, and may in their own way be conducive to universal progress in human and Christian freedom ... and [to] remedy the customs and conditions of the world, if they are an inducement to sin, so that they all may be conformed to the norms of justice and may favor the practice of virtue rather than hinder it" (iv, 36).

Vatican II affirms Catholic doctrine dating back to 1302, when Pope Boniface VIII asserted that, "IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SALVATION OF EVERY HUMAN CREATURE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE ROMAN PONTIFF."

The Pope's embassy, the Apostolic Nunciature, at 3339 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. officially opened during the Reagan administration on January 10, 1984. Shortly thereafter, a complaint was filed against President Reagan at U.S. District Court in Philadelphia by the American Jewish Congress, The Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs, Seventh Day Adventists, the National Council of Churches, the National Association of Evangelicals, and the Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The plaintiffs sought to have the Court declare that the Administration had unconstitutionally granted to the Roman faith privileges that were being denied to other establishments of religion.

On May 7, 1985, the suit was thrown out by the office of Chief Judge John Fullam. Fullam ruled that district courts do not have jurisdiction to intervene in "foreign policy decisions" of the executive branch. Bishop James W. Malone, president of the U.S. Catholic Conference, praised Judge Fullam's decision, noting that it settled "not a religious issue but a public policy question." The plaintiffs appealed. The 3rd Circuit denied the appeal, noticing that, "the Roman Catholic Church's unique position of control over a sovereign territory gives it advantages that other religious organizations do not enjoy."

Hence, the Apostolic Nunciature at 3339 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. enables the papacy to supervise more closely American civil government - "public policy" - as administered through Roman Catholic laypersons.

So much for your First Amendment.
