Main Position. America is and shall be a Catholic empire.

Specific Position. America shall be committed to the traditions, rigidity, and devout biblical devotion to God inherent to Catholicism. These are the means by which people are to practice Christianity.

Main Reason. Catholicism is the purest, most effective, and strongest system of Christianity.

Specific Reason.

A. History of Protestantism and Catholicism. This is the case in the 21st century. America was founded on Protestant Christianity; however, at the time, Protestantism was a highly rigid form of the religion that sought to form a purer Church due to the Roman Catholic Church's abuses. At the Founding, Protestantism was a purer form of Catholicism. It retained its firm structure, its devout worship, and singular devotion to hierarchy, order, and unbending love of God.

B. Protestantism's Ungrounded Change. Protestantism has changed significantly. It too often involves a chaotic and scripturally ungrounded worship of the Lord; its services are postliberal; it is based on the tenet that any interpretation of Scripture, no matter how detached from theological sanity, is valid for the person who holds it.

C. Modern Catholicism is Old Protestantism. Catholicism is actually what Protestantism was 300 years ago. Its devotion, rigidity, and commitment to purity align with the more perfect Church that the first Protestants sought to create. The abuses that the Catholic Church had engaged in which they sought to reform, have now largely dissipated.

D. Catholicism as Necessary Foundation and Compass. Therefore, the General Assembly finds that Catholicism is the Christian sect most aligned with the foundation of the nation; and most equipped to carry the nation forward today.

E. Devout Protestants are Catholic. Protestant Christians who are truly devout, who encourage and practice a rigid standard of biblical adherence, shall understand plainly why the formal designation of the religion must be Catholic Christianity. Among especially devout Protestants, it is very common for them to attend a Catholic Church above the more lurid Protestant ones for this reason. Protestants must submit to the standards and practices of Catholicism should they wish to be in the good grace of Christianity as it is sacred.

Resulting Actions.

A. Be Catholic. The General Assembly supports conversions to, and engagement in, Catholicism.

1. Become baptized, and maintain the solemn devotion to our Lord that baptism paves the way for: do this in the Catholic Church.
2. Receive holy communion regularly.
3. Engage in the sacrament of penance and reconciliation for the regular forgiveness and awareness of sin.
4. Read Scripture frequently, pray every day, and embody the love and goodwill of Jesus Christ in one's thoughts and words.
5. Know that Christ is King.

B. Catholic Wisdom for Christianity. The General Assembly firmly encourages that this is all done according to the Catholic faith. The doctrine of Catholicism possesses the accumulated wisdom of God—as it was revealed to men—necessary and proper for the continued invigoration of the Christian religion.

C. The Continued Legacy. This Holy Empire of America has been divinely delivered several new Testaments to the Bible. Yet these, too, are in solemn respect to the Catholic creed of reflection, rigid adherence to prior tradition and Scripture, and exacting theological sanity. The careful invigoration of new monuments and legacies, built carefully upon prior ones—neither clinging blindly onto the past nor devouring the present with a frenzied conflagration—is part and parcel of the grace that the universal children of God, which is what Catholicism, proper, seeks to record, maintain. Universality necessarily demands limitation. Just as our material universe has a boundary at its furthest edge, so too the spiritual kingdom of God is infinite but also predicated on an allegiance to his singular and ongoing divine message. Only the Holy Empire of America, in respect, therefore, for the sacred doctrines of Catholicism, has secured all the past, present, and future, for God.

Catholic Committee. The General Assembly hereby establishes a Catholic Committee for the proliferation of the Catholic faith across the country.

Part 2 — Preserving Catholicism

Section 7. Political Evangelism. The Church of the Holy American Empire shall preach the message of the good news to all who hear it. The General Assembly adopts a series of principles in regard to this mission.

A. First, we hold as the bedrock the already righteous and earnest gathered here.

B. And second, we desire to extend an olive branch of warmth, potentially of equal value to the one we offer to ourselves, to those who are receptive and worthy of it even if they do not formally acknowledge its blessedness as desired.

1. We submit the parable of the two sons as our justification. He who carries out the message of the Father yet speaks not his name, is worthier to be called a Catholic than he who claims faith but acts not.

C. And third, for those who reject the message, we seek to restore, and disassociate from temporally as is productive.

Section 8. Liturgy of the Hours. Every person shall pray the Liturgy of the Hours every day. It may be found here: https://www.liturgies.net/Liturgies/Catholic/loh/loh.htm. Every person shall pray such liturgy at every prescribed hour throughout the day.
