About this listen

Some Christians decry the deism of our Founding Fathers, claiming that outright anti-Christian principles lie at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, crippling from birth our beloved republic.

Here philosopher Timothy Gordon forcefully disagrees, arguing that while anti-Catholic bias kept them from admitting their reliance on Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits, our Protestant and Enlightenment Founding Fathers secretly held Catholic views about politics and nature.

Had they fully adhered to Catholic principles, argues Gordon, the "Catholic republic" that is America from its birth would not today be on the verge of social collapse. The instinctive Catholicism of our Founders would have prevented the cancerous growth of the state, our subsequent loss of liberties, the destruction of families, abortion on demand, the death of free markets, and the horrors of today's pervasive pagan culture.

In Catholic Republic, Gordon recounts our nation's clandestine history of publicly repudiating, yet privately relying on, Catholic ideas about politics and nature. At this late hour in the life of the Church and the world, America still can be saved, claims Gordon, if only we soon return to the Catholic principles that are the indispensable foundation of all successful republics.

This helped me connect a lot of the dots with my studying of the building of our nation, why it devolved & how to get it back on the right track.

Studying the creation of liberalism and the enlightenment, also the history of Catholicism and how liberalism is a anti-catholic diet Catholicism.

Absolutely stellar! The book can be quite philosophically heavy at times but at other times Accessible. For those American Patriots with a philosophical and theological bent this book will be eliminating and revolutionary. This book should be required reading in every American University. To a trained and Disciplined mind, this book is irrefutable.

wow

Tim Gordon’s Catholic Republic is without a doubt the best book I have listened to. I was less then half way through before I bought a hard copy. He makes and wonderfully articulates all the arguments that I personally attempted to have with my liberal professors. He is a much better man then I. Though he was way to nice to protestants in this book.

Absolutely awesome

Everyone Catholic, Protestant, and Atheist should have an understanding of the content of this book. Tim Gordon does a great job of breaking down Natural Law, Aristotle's virtue ethics, and the historical element each played in the founding of our Republic as well as how it all plays out today. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Book!

Narrator seems unfamiliar with vocabulary from the Catholic and philosophical realist traditions. Many bad pronunciations.

I am intrigued by the premise. I am lead to a rabbit hole with this one. I encourage the "pro-choice" "Catholics" to read this.

interesting perspective

This book is wonderful and all high school students should have read it. Every U.S. citizen should read it. Must know information about natural law and subsidiarity.

Excellent! We all should know this information.

If you think the world is falling apart..
be assured this book will explain why and how history plays its part! I plan to listen to it again to implant his concepts into my explanation to others. Seriously... a prophetic book.

Wow! This explains it all!

I never thought of the law and of our country's success in this manner. as a cradle Catholic I am very happy to think our religion has made such an positive impact to Americans. The author creates a clear and understandable arguement with a lot of support. loved the book and love the author.

riveting and super informative

This book is better to read than listen as there is a lot of information about why America needs Rome. When trying to follow it, I would have to replay a chapter to get the full understanding of that Tim was trying to prove

Better to actually read than listen
