Constitution Or Pope? Why Alien Roman Catholics Can Not Be Legally Naturalized (1915)

By Gilbert Owen Nations

Book Overview

Constitution Or Pope? Why Alien Roman Catholics Can Not Be Legally Naturalized (1915) is a book written by Gilbert Owen Nations. The book discusses the issue of naturalization of Roman Catholics who are aliens in the United States. Nations argues that the Catholic Church's allegiance to the Pope makes it impossible for them to swear allegiance to the US Constitution, and therefore, they cannot be legally naturalized. The book provides historical and legal arguments to support this claim, citing examples from both American and European history. The author also addresses the potential consequences of allowing Roman Catholics to be naturalized, including the possibility of foreign influence over American politics. Overall, the book presents a controversial argument that challenges the traditional notion of religious freedom in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
