A free society is only possible among men of good moral character. What the world needs is a true God-breathed revival, not another reign of Roman (Catholic) terror.
Just because the RCC ran roughshod over many via their inquisitions does not mean civil magistrates cannot execute the civil penalties prescribed in God’s law.

Man’s law has given us:

1) Same sex marriage
2) Women the right to murder their unborn babies
3) LGBTQ+ rights, including adopting babies to pollute their minds into believing their lifestyle is acceptable

God’s law, properly enforced, does away with all these abominations.
