That's really unfair to say. Christians and Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Anglo-Saxon Protestants, Methodists, and Mormons are all Christians.
Good Catholics, have a conscience and try to follow the rules of the authorities. Same holds true for all Christians. A constitution was first established as a form of self government, was first done by the Apostles. The Catholic Church and church teachings, was formed by the first christians and has evolved through the centuries to establish Christianity or by definition followers of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
With that being said, our Constitution is based upon the Catholic Constitution as formed by the doctors of the Church, specifically St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine of Hippo, and St. Jerome.
St. Thomas of Aquinas established the principles behind a just law and an unjust law. He wrote the law must apply to all, and any unjust law is like no law at all.
To claim that i*****l a***ns are Catholic, is unjust and unfair where Muslim terrorists on the terror watch list are not the go to church Catholics. Yet among the i*****l i*******ts these people were found.
Go to church Catholics, and truly faithful Catholics, let alone truly faithful Christians, and active, going to church Christians, Mormons and all Protestants included, will not enter this country illegally. That is a fact.
Fooled christians, or christians who are desperate for food, shelter, and a job may be duped into coming into this country illegally, and when they find themselves in that situation they seek forgiveness, because ignorance of the law is no excuse----per St. Thomas Aquinas.
Therefore, one group of religious people, that have proven they can self-govern themselves is the whole of Christianity.
But since Christians, all Christians, who are those who follow the teaching of Christ, are also human and make mistakes. However we, christians, suffer from a blessing and a curse. Faithful Christians will try to follow Christ and the rules and laws of any country we reside in. Render on to Caesar what is Caesar's, render on to God what is God's.
Unfaithful Christians will do the opposite. Therefore like the Jews, God's chosen people, being a Christian is a blessing and a curse.
As a Roman Catholic, our consciences will not allow us to violate the law. However, those who fall away from the teachings of Christ, and are seduced by p***e, lust, greed, and the lust for power and money, will try every trick in the book, to justify thier conscience, where St Thomas says they have no conscience. For they deny Christ's teaching.
In the end, and in conclusion, all Christians, from the Catholic Church to the Mormons and every Christian in between, would not through faith be an i*****l a***ns. For all Christians do not compromise the teachings of Christ.
