This is probably one of those talks way ahead of it's time, very prescient. I tried to find more from Dr. Jeffrey Bond but couldn't find too much, a real shame. Great eye opening video, will keep and share. Wish there was more.
I appreciate you posting this. I was a former Protestant who where my Protestant ideas were continually running into roadblocks in life and when I sought understanding it seemed no one liked my questioning. This restlessness over time brought me to the steps of the Catholic Church where I found answers to all the questions I have sought for the last 25 years. As a Catholic my understanding has grown exponentially over the last 5 years. I have for some time questioned the Christian basis for the Constitution and found your video through a search. I'm curious if you have anymore resources that might help me to better understand how the founding of the US and the constitution are both the fruits of the enlightenment and are contradictory to Catholic truth? Thanks.
Hey your welcome to check out my youtube page, youll have to do some shuffling through material because there is so much there, but im happy to help if you need anything specific and cant find it to check out. Are you still looking for Catholic material on government, and understanding Americas founding better? God bless
That's a good point about Descartes because Descartes's thought implies solipsism. A solipsist believes that only he exists and that everyone else and everything else is imaginary. You see why solipsism is like the idea that all beliefs are equally good, right?
What do you think of this Hamilton quote: "The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."? It sounds like he's describing natural law, but is he taking it in the Scholastic sense of natural law or in some new deist sense? (You were mentioning Madison using similar terminology but signifying something completely different and more in-line with mechanism/materialism.)
It does sound like a take on natural law which many of the founders recognized, which is why diests are often called believers in a God who sets the watch in motion then leaves. But he pits their existence against whether they were related divinely in time itself, which is why he is wrong. The natural law exists, but being fallen reminders are necessary since sin clouds reason and will
Excellent talk that just untied some knots for me. I still think the founding of America was a work of The Holy Spirit, and has given Catholicism a place to thrive when it was and still is under attack more so elsewhere. Having to moderate religious differences between the colonies I thought watered down the Protestant differences to something more Catholic. But of course there is no such thing as "Catholic Lite", which is the basis of all heresy. In the end, the misuse and stupidity of a simple phrase drives our demise ..."the separation of church and state". Since each secular law is valid only in as much as it is moral, we must recognize Catholicism like the Russians are now doing. You have rightly tarnished my heroes ... Adams and Madison; who stood no chance of being influential had they been a Catholic. And I still can't understand why any Catholic would vote "Democrat" today. God help us. .... thank you.
leev jr hey man check out Charles Coloumbe on the heresy of Americanism, it's a amazing piece. Charles has other documents from the founding of this nation just like dr. Jeffrey bond has here. But he is also a historian, so he draws from many different points in history, and especially American history in which we don't truly know ourselves though we are somewhat familiar with. He also draws from Pope's that condemn certain belief systems that are rampid within the American Catholic population, I can't recommend it more! God Bless
Excellent referral .. thank you! Captured: ua-cam.com/video/hadttLfJ4mk/v-deo.html for study and review. Leo XIII spoke out on the errors of America and his successor Pius X also - Rerum and Pascendi resp. Also follow Chesterton and Belloc ... all good sources. ... Peace

If Newton was the new natural science, that what was the old?
