More Catholics Say God save the (non-Catholic) Queen

NCR (the good NCR not the bad NCR) has an Op-Ed by Father De Souza. See Father Raymond J. De Souza: God save the (non-Catholic) Queen

I am agreeing more and more with that logic.

However as a Louisiana guy let me take objection to this part:

Over centuries and the blood of many martyrs, Catholics came to live in peace and religious freedom under the British crown. Indeed, in one of those ironies in history, religious liberty has flourished in the former British colonies better than in most other parts of the world. (Recall that a key complaint of the American revolutionaries was that King George III was tolerating popery in his Quebec colony.) So changing the rules of succession is not necessary for Catholic emancipation.

Not exactly. In fact just ask the Cajuns of Louisiana about that and the others Acadian heritage throughout the United States about the Great expulsion. What some still call a WAR CRIME.

The Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem , Evangeline, was loosely based on the events surrounding the 1755

The Catholic Signer of the Declaration of Independence Charles Carroll of Carrollton talks about this sorry state of affairs in his memoirs

In fact there is quite a memorial in Louisiana to these folks.

However besides that wrong history on the subject of the Queen and the succession rules for Catholics I agree with his reasoning the more I think about it
