Given the way things are going in these United States, it won't be long before the Vatican is asking the Federal government for a Concordat, as it did the Third Reich. And it will be for the same reason. I’ve been saying for some time that the Establishment clause is not meant to protect us from theocracy so much as to protect religions from State interference.

The anti-religious fervor in America today has nothing to do with obeying the Constitution. It's all about using the Constitution as a tool to totally secularize our nation.
