Agreed. The ways Catholics and Jews have collaborated to undermine America really deserves more attention. Catholicism has recently been skating by on being "based and trad," but the reality is the history of Catholicism in America is at best complicated, with Catholics often prioritizing their allegiance with Rome and global Catholicism over and against their loyalty to their fellow Americans. The Hart-Celler act is one such example. Catholic Charities facilitating illegal migration is another example.
I say complicated because of course there are exceptions. Haym Solomon was a patriot, firmly in the category of Jews who understood they could not possibly get a better deal than a white nation with a strict separation between church and state, and gave everything he had to the cause. Charles Carroll was likewise a patriot, understanding that such a nation would be able to rise above the endless, horrific bloodshed characterizing the Wars of Religion in Europe.
Unfortunately, while Protestant international religious loyalties dissolve in the intrinsic locality of Protestant churches, Jews and Catholics have been proven have a much stronger internationality to their faiths. Jews have their loyalty to the Promised Land, and Catholics in have their fealty to the head of a foreign state. Hart-Celler combines the worst of both.
I think what a lot of the people who assume (based on what Catholic aesthetics they've seen online, or what they watch in media perhaps) that Catholicism in the US is this mega-based & trad force that people should be happy to retvrn to forget/don't know about, and what the likes of Nick Fuentes
definitely don't know or do know but want to hide, is that American Catholics were historically staunchly liberal-aligned and Democratic voters until pretty recently. From Irish political machines like Tammany Hall to Greatest Generation types spiritually buckbroken by the world wars like the aforementioned Hart, American Catholics were overwhelmingly Democratic-inclined & voted for or were politicians in the (D) camp. Most of the Catholic 'white ethnic' blocs everyone knows about like Irish, Italians Poles? Yep, solid (D) voters for the longest time.
Ironically for how much shit the boomer gen catches for being hedonistic hippies that never quite grew up, Catholic boomers were
more conservative than their forefathers, and the culture wars of the 1960s-70s (school prayer, the Pill, abortion, faggotry, etc.) were where American Catholics started breaking away from liberal orthodoxy & the Democratic Party. Samuel Alito & Clarence Thomas (especially unusual - only something like 6% of blacks are Catholic) are both Catholic boomers, for example. So's Mel Gibson, Marty O'Donnell, and so on. The Vitale in
Engel v. Vitale who tried to defend school prayer against kikes & atheists? A Catholic Italian named William J. Vitale, further backed by the Catholic clergy (made all the more ironic by how Catholics were against earlier iterations of school prayer b/c they viewed such as attempts to impose Protestantism on Catholic students with the KJV & a distinctly Protestant lean to the prayers, but by the 1960s, both faithful Catholics & Protestants could get behind nonsectarian prayers like the one Vitale stood for). It took until 1972 for a Republican candidate to get the majority of Catholic votes (
Richard Nixon, he got 52% of the Catholic vote that year).
Trump himself actually increased his share of the Catholic vote, from 50% in 2020 to 54% in 2024; while yes he increased his share of the Hispanic vote and that obviously played a role in boosting his share of the Catholic vote,
overall he was still carried more-so by white Catholics rather than Hispanic ones (who still voted for Harris by a slim majority), IIRC it was something like 61% of white Catholics vs. only 48% of the brown Catholics who voted for him last time. It will be interesting to see what form Catholicism takes on the conservative side of American politics, where it's still pretty new in the grand scheme of things and where I don't believe a truly, centrally American Catholic strand of conservative thought has crystallized yet.
What I do believe, however, is that it's going to be very different from integralism & other European Catholic-centric ideologies; no matter how the gay catboi or Internet sede demographics try to hype the latter up as based, such ideologies are fundamentally alien to & can't mesh with American politics. Not in their entirety - you can see the similarity between, let's say, Maurras's concept of the
pays réel vs. pays légal and the modern American struggle vs. the deep state - but a lot more about them, like the monarchism or national syndicalism, makes no sense in an American framework. I look forward to seeing what the younger generations of American Catholics on the right will build on the foundations left to them, not by men like Maurras or Franco, but by the likes of Alito, Thomas, Rubio, Vance, etc. over time.
