23 A Catholic Critique of the American Founding – James Madison, The Federalist, Nos. 10 and 51

Dr. Jeffrey Bond presents a Catholic critique of the American Founding. James Madison and The Federalist Papers were both instrumental in creating and achieving confirmation of the American Constitution. Dr. Bond shows how the ideas they expressed are very problematic for the Catholic world view. One special difficulty is, once again, their Lockean presumption that order is built upon maintaining and encouraging the disagreement and factionalism of many warring groups in society. Taken from Regalism, Revolution, the Reign of Terror and the Assault on Catholicism (1648-1799)
