S: If it weren't for the Irish Catholics, we would not have any cops.
R: If it weren't for the Irish Catholics, we wouldn't need any cops.
So goes the old joke.
If we look at who fronts the financial services for the powers that be, and see Jews overwhelmingly represented, when we look at law enforcement (the arm of the state as defined as a monopoly on violence) and we see Catholics overwhelmingly represent. We are a big number to begin with, but we are five of the supreme court justices, countless generals, cops and prosecutors. Legislators and governors abound.
The bishops have spent 100 years trying to get what we call Obamacare passed. Now they've got it, but it is not quite what they hoped for. One thing the bishops can count on from all of these Catholics in the commanding heights of law enforcement when it comes to doing the right thing is absolutely nothing. In spite of having several leading law schools, the catholics are not contributing much in the way of the rule of law, but plenty in the way of violence.
The Church/King - Church/State pas de deux has gone on since Pilate interviewed Jesus. The Church has never quite got it right, and has not now. It is coming apart right now. Pope John Paul II had to order priests worldwide to stay out of state offices. A pope cannot tell catholics to do so, but popes have certainly noted a preference for those who start their own businesses.
Perhaps catholics ought to begin to take their faith as seriously as say, orthodox Jews, and withdraw their consent to be governed by the state, and certainly refuse to serve the state.
