Curiouser & curiouser!  The contemporary US is like an ideological continent
of Australia, spawning species of belief found nowhere else.

Yet, I've always suspected that god, christ, etc. were really excrescences 
on the pristine core of Roman Catholicism, & that its true & only article
of faith was Cosmic Repression, tastefully Latinized as the "lex naturae".
It's heartening to finally encounter a totally sincere Catholic!
