Once when living in Damascus, Syria, I had a driver who was a communist. He asked why I like America. I thought about Syria where the President did anything he wanted even to kill people without trial. His son used to drive through the streets at 90 miles an hour not caring about pedestrians and if he hit one he just kept driving because no one was going to do anything about it. So I told him a true story.

"Once when Ronald Reagon was President of the United States," I said, "he was driving too fast and was stopped by a highway patrol officer. The officer gave him a ticket and he had to pay it. This is why I like America. In America everyone has to obey the same written law." Of course that is no longer true in America since the CIA and FBI lost there independence from the presidents. Today a president can get away with even murder and has done so many times.

Sooner or later power will corrupt any government because people are not saints. The only thing that cannot be corrupted is written law. The Catholic Church is the longest lasting government in the history of the world being even the extension of the Jewish Nation. It is a government of absolute law, written law. No priest or bishop can tell me to do something against that law (providing that I know the law and I do) because I will not obey him. I will even go so far as to fill a canon law suit against him. Obedience to the written law of the Church is greater than obedience to the priest or bishop.

If you want a good government you must have a stabile government. Only a government of written law is stabile. In the past Kings and bishops and priests have been corrupted by power and money. This would not have happened if they were under an absolute constitution in which the people, the police, and the army pledged obedience.

When the United States of America was a good government of written law, people from all over the world flocked to its freedom and opportunity. If a Nation somewhere in the world adopts a similar but Catholic constitution, Catholics from all over the world will flock to its freedom from the sin of immorality and the opportunity to live a peaceful Catholic life.
