A Catholic Nation
We the people of the Catholic Church throughout the world seeking to escape from the oppressive immorality, the sanctioning of sin, the brainwashing of our children, the labeling of us as extremists, and the forced integration with anti-Catholics, declare our human and international rights to establish our own Nation. Our rights to have a Catholic Nation are no difference than the rights of Israel to have a Jewish Nation, Saudi Arabia to have a Moslem Nation, or England to have a
Protestant Nation.
This is not a declaration of a particular nation. It is a format for any nation that wishes to become a Catholic nation. It is an example of what a Catholic Nation would be. It is the Constitution of a Catholic Nation based as close as possible on the laws of God in Scripture, the teachings of the Church, and the natural moral law.
It is hoped that somewhere in the world, some nation would want to be a Catholic Nation as hundreds of Nations were in the 19th Century. It could be as small as Hong Kong or Singapore or Madera. Although small, we believe in only a few years it would become a major economic power in the world. We have the history of the world over the past 2000 years to prove this, for as everywhere the Catholic Faith was embraced economic prosperity followed. Christ has kept His promise in the Lilies of the Field, "Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be given to you." All the powerful nations of the world today became powerful because of their Catholic moral laws and traditions. The Catholic education and work ethic produced the wealth of the world. Whenever these laws were neglected the wealth left the nations.

Catholic Constitution
Preamble
This Nation is first and foremost a Catholic Nation. It holds to the Catholic faith, the Catholic teachings, and is at all times obedient to the Holy Father, the Bishop of Rome. No change can be made to this constitution except by the Holy Father of Rome, and he can make any change to it at any time at his will. Libertatis Conscientia published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith in 1986 noted that the role of the community is not to formulate social teaching but to implement it. The church already has the principles and the criteria for developing social teaching. What remains is to put it into practice, the proper job of the laity. This Constitution is taken from those social teachings.

Article 1
Type of Government
Section 1
Constitutional GovernmentFirst and most important is that this government is a Constitutional Government in that the written law is the most powerful part of the law. All power rests in the written law and not in any individual. All peoples must obey the written law without any exceptions or privileges not explicitly written in the law. The rich and the poor, the governors and the governed, the citizens and the none citizens, the Catholics and the non-Catholics, the annexed territories and the colonies, the priests and the Kings, all must obey the same written law in the same way without exception. All are equal under the law.
Commentary Emails
Section 2
TheocracyAs a Constitutional Government (written law) it is also a Theocracy in that it follows the format of governments written by God, Himself, and the unity of Church and State established by God in Exodus with Moses. The Holy Father (and in a lesser sense the Bishops) have the last word in all disputes that are beyond the written law. Ex. 19:6 We formally place this Nation under the protecting sword of Saint Michael, the loving prayers of Our Lady, and the family care of Saint Joseph, the Patriarch. Our Lady will be called Queen of this Nation.

Section 3

Constitutional Laws
Section 1
Fixed Laws of GodThis Nation professes that our laws and statutes shall reflect the teachings of the Bible and Tradition as taught and interpreted by the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
This Nation professes one God, in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It professes belief in all that the Son, The Word, teaches, and prays that the Holy Spirit guides this Nation in Faith, Adoration, Trust in God's protection and Divine Mercy. As a Nation we profess our first charity to be towards the Word of God. We declare that none of our laws will contradict the teachings of the Mystical Body of Christ, the Catholic Church.
This Nation will never treat God commonly in our national purpose, our laws, our justice or our charity. This Nation will keep God first and adore Him with words and actions.
This Nation will keep holy all Sundays and Church Holidays. No one will work on these days throughout the Nation except for those services needed to care for those celebrating the Lord by Mass or outings together: Gas Stations, Restaurants, parks and recreation, Police, etc. Government sponsored celebrations for Religious Holidays will be the norm. All military personal will be off on these days, except for security personal. No fighting will take place on these days except in the case of an attack.
Honor of Father and Mother and all in Authority will be a National law. Those who dishonor anyone in legitimate God-given Authority will be committing a crime against the common good and therefore the Nation and will be punished by the Nation in accordance with the law and the crime committed. If the punishment of the crime is not spelled out in the law, the community where the crime is committed will declare the punishment. See Section 6.
All crimes of murder are against the law of this Nation, including the murder of unborn children from the moment of conception. This law also includes the killing of one's reputation, damage to one's body, and interference in one's ability to make a living. This law does not include self-defense, the defense of one's family or friends, the defense of one's own property or helping others defend themselves. No self-defense is lawful beyond what is needed to stop the aggression. Anything beyond self-defense is revenge, and revenge belongs to God and not to the individual. The State only will punish the crime after it is stopped or discovered. Everyone has the first right, however, to his own protection.
Adultery is a major crime against the common good, the family and therefore the Nation, and will be punished by the law. The family is the soul and first cell of the Nation and will be protected by every law the Nation can enforce. A proven adulterer will have no rights whatsoever in the family property, children or name. An adulterer who violates another's family will be punished by the Nation and retribution paid to the family in accordance to the loss to the children, the income and their future happiness. Whosoever divorces and marries another also commits adultery and will be punished by the law. Separation will be lawful, but will have to be approved by the Pastor of the family. In separation the property of the family will remain in joint ownership and not be sold for the sake of the children and their inheritance. After separation all members of the family will be supported the same as before separation.
All theft will be punished by the Nation, including but not limited to the theft: of property, of reputation and honor, of time paid for in work, of a just wage, of false advertisement or claims of goods, of even idleness (refusing to work) which damages the common good.
Bearing false witness in the Nation's courts is a felony punished by jail sentence in accordance with the severity of the offence. Those who cooperate with a false witness will have the same sentence. Those who take bribes to pervert justice shall be punished by the Nation's courts. Unjust criticism, or even exaggerating someone's faults or intentions could be punishable by the law if proven.
Any attempt at adultery or theft, even if not successful, will be punished by the laws of the Nation.

Article 5
Constitutional Freedoms and Restrictions
The fundamental rights of man (as the history of nations demonstrates) are inviolable and non-negotiable; hence, they can never be at the arbitrary mercy of any social pact or majority consensus. For every one of man's rights to be respected, it is indispensable to recover the sense of the "natural moral law - the light of intelligence infused in us by God. Thanks to it, we know what must be done and what must be avoided. God has given us this light and law in creation, yet, if the exigencies that arise from the natural moral law are not to remain simply as good intentions, they need the law to recognize and protect them in social life.

Article 7
School Systems
The strength of a Nation is in the people. A superior educated people produces a superior nation. An educated nation produces wealth and happiness. The primary obligation of a government is the well being of its people. Therefore a primary obligation of the government is the education of its people. The financing and infrastructure of the school systems belongs to the government, but the final say in local schools belongs to the people whose children are in these schools. All schools will be Religious Schools and will teach as a primary part of the education system, morals, ethics, and theology. All schools will be run by the Church, Catholics in Catholic Schools and non-Catholics in non-Catholic Schools. Sports and related activities will not be part of the school system but will be promoted by the towns in a separate system. Education is the goal of the school system and not self-esteem. No one will pass to another grade who has not learned the requirements of the present grade. The object of the school system is to give everyone basic knowledge to made a living and understand the moral and ethic laws of the land, and to find and train the best minds of the Nation to greatness. It will not lower its standards to average or low intelligence. Anyone who will not learn or obey his or her teachers will be removed from the school system. Teachers will be respected with honor.
