The more devout a Catholic I have become, the more I have grown to despise the United States. I'm even an American, but my own country increasingly fills me with loathing. The United States is the most anti-Catholic country in the history of the world. It has been hostile to the Church since the very beginning, when there were references to Catholicism negatively placed in the Declaration of Independence.

Over and over, America has been an enemy of the Church. The Know Nothing Party and the Ku Klux Klan actively persecuted Catholics. Every single Catholic candidate for president before JFK was slandered and assaulted, and JFK got fucking killed. The United States dropped a pointless atomic bomb on Nagasaki, the most Catholic city in Japan. Catholic priests and nuns and laity were ruthlessly killed in South America by American-backed death squads; they also murdered Saint Oscar Romero as he was saying Mass. All over the world, America spreads gay marriage, gender theory, birth control, and abortion, all directly opposed to the teachings of the Church. Hollywood puts out blatant anti-Catholic propaganda and calls it mass entertainment.

Why should I have any great love for my home country, when it blatantly opposes my religion so much? My religion is more important to me than any country to which I could belong. Why shouldn't I hate America? Why shouldn't I despise America? Why shouldn't I curse America, in Christ's name, and wish for a terrible fate to befall it?

Why shouldn't I wish for the worst possible death and ruin to overcome America? Wouldn't that be fitting punishment, for a nation which has been an enemy of Christ's own Church from its very beginning?

When did you realize that the only reason the ancient prophecy of the Messiah being born in Bethlehem was fulfilled was because of the order of the imperial census by Tiberius Caesar?

When did you realize that Virgil foretells the saviour of all mankind, born of a virgin, in his Eclogues?

When did you realize that the fates of Christianity and the fates of the Roman Empire are inextricably intertwined?

When did you realize that Christ's true home is Rome, and Rome is where He went, and never left?
