Christopher Ferrara,Esq., critiques the notion that Catholic states should remain a thing of the past. He quotes Pope Leo XIII about Church-State relations and speaks on the undeniable benefits the Catholic Church brings to nations that are guided by the Church. Ferrara gives the example of the successful Catholic state established by Ecuadorian statesman Gabriel Garcia Moreno, which was ended only by Moreno’s martyrdom by liberals after he was elected for a third term as Ecuador’s president in 1875. Mr. Ferrara is an American attorney who writes and speaks frequently in defense of traditional Catholicism.
