| Religious Sisters Join With TEA Party Demonstrators |
THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: The third largest political party in the United States is the
Constitution Party, and it's been preaching the exact same message as the TEA Parties for the last 20 years...
CONSTITUTION PARTY PLATFORM
PREAMBLE
The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.
This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.
The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries.
The Constitution of these United States provides that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." The Constitution Party supports the original intent of this language. Therefore, the Constitution Party calls on all those who love liberty and value their inherent rights to join with us in the pursuit of these goals and in the restoration of these founding principles.
The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical law, administered by representatives who are Constitutionally elected by the citizens. In such a Republic all Life, Liberty and Property are protected because law rules.
We affirm the principles of inherent individual rights upon which these United States of America were founded:
That each individual is endowed by his Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are the rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness;
That the freedom to own, use, exchange, control, protect, and freely dispose of property is a natural, necessary and inseparable extension of the individual's unalienable rights;
That the legitimate function of government is to secure these rights through the preservation of domestic tranquility, the maintenance of a strong national defense, and the promotion of equal justice for all;
That history makes clear that left unchecked, it is the nature of government to usurp the liberty of its citizens and eventually become a major violator of the people's rights; and
That, therefore, it is essential to bind government with the chains of the Constitution and carefully divide and jealously limit government powers to those assigned by the consent of the governed....

I'm afraid most Constitution Party adherents do not look to kindly at the Catholic Church.
Even in their preamble, they destinguish "Christians" from "religionists" (?) and "religions" from "Christianity".
I'm sure they're die-hard separationists (in regards to the separation of Church and state).
But what we need is a Catholic confessional state, because only then will the source of rights and morality be properly recognised— as coming from God and His Catholic Church.
As a Roman Catholic and 2010 Constitution Party Nominee for U.S. Congress in Ohio's 15th Congressional District. I can tell you that the Constitution Party of Ohio and National Constitution Party have never made me feel unwelcomed because of my Roman Catholic beliefs and faith.

Thank you David. I was thinking about writing a friendly rebuttal to the comment above, but you seem to have taken care of that nicely. With your permission I would like to do an online interview with you via email. I will be contacting you shortly.
Well, that's definitely good to hear! Thanks.
and besides the constitution party was started and founded by a Roman Catholic because he was rejected by the republican party
I don't think Howard Phillips is, or ever was, a Catholic. Could you enlighten us on who you're talking about Tabitha? Thanks. :-)
my apologies I seemed to have gotten the candidate smith and philips mixed up cause i have read what i have looked up a longe time ago.
