What do you know! It seems there is a Catholic opinion on other Groups and even that group called Prostestants. But they seem to be a sub group of the "The Great Heresies" catholic.com I found this as I wondered if there was a Catholic position or opinion on the separation of Church and State. Nothing official, my belief is that in the core of Christs teaching is the clear recognition that his church is about matters of his kingdom and not the kindoms of earth. It is 100% consistent with my understanding of the US Constitution. It recognises that some times one must obey the laws of the kindoms of man and they may conflict with the laws of God.

"I would not want any religion, or denomination, to have power in the government either." Well... I wouldn't want them to be the government. 'Power' is a tricky thing to define. "All I want, is to be able to voice my beliefs of a religious matter without some politically correct prick trying to tell me that was not fair, or to be allowed." Of course! But, who is telling you to change or be different? If it's just some bloke on the street... well, that's the price of freedom: everybody's got an opinion, and they are free to express them. But if it's the government, well that's a different thing. "I believe the politicians, mainly the CIC, should decide when the military is deployed," Constitution grants the power to declare war to the CONGRESS, but the Executive is who prosecutes and administers it.... "... but should then stand aside and let them do their job without interference." Of course! Nothing like a bureaucrat to screw things up!
