about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Wrong Question, Even For The States
Seems to me the question somewhat lets Christians off the hook. Are British Christians believers and disciples of Christ? Start there. Work it out as you go. If my country is Christian, maybe I don’t need to be, so much.
The same holds true for Americans.
I don’t need a government stance or an acknowledgement of some official book* to be a good or better Christian. In a way, it indulges a weakness of modern society. Delegate the tough stuff to someone who’s an expert. Leave me alone to indulge my personal stuff. The people who drop their kids off for religious instruction. The people who leave sainthood to popes and martyrs and gurus.
* The Bible, by the way, is not a book. It’s a library of books.
