John Adams said that the constitutional government he helped establish could only survive with "a moral and religious people."

Protestantism is inherently morally relative. This undercurrent eventually pervaded all aspects of the culture, resulting in the insanity we have today.

Catholicism, on the other hand, is morally rigid. Its doctrines have not changed for 2000 years. Compare this to the US, where key concepts like separation of Church and State were completely inverted at the highest level of government (SCOTUS) less than 80 years after the Constitution was ratified!

If the colonists were bound to the teaching of the Catholic Church, they would have remained the "moral and religious people" Adams invoked.

I'm an Atheist, but I have to admit that the tried and true consistency of Catholicism is pretty appealing. I'm tempted to live a lie just to wrap myself in the comfortable blanket of traditionalism.
