If Modern Democracy were really the great step forward we are told it is, if it were the fulfillment of the most cherished dream of mankind for a better world wherein justice and peace would dwell, the Popes would certainly have hailed it as such, but they have not. On the contrary, they deplore the absence of the very things which Modern Democracy was supposed to give us, and they note with sorrow the growth of the very evils which Modern Democracy was supposed to eliminate. Last, but not least, the Popes condemn again and again errors and evils which are peculiar to Modern Democracy, and they stress how inevitably democratic theories lead to Fascism, Socialism, or Communism.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
