I think some one else did in a post concerning this, defending Fr. Hunter's viewpoint.

Who is this "some one [sic] else"?

Fr. Hunter is still defending the Founding Fathers as using Catholic principles, even using Robert O'Reilly's America on Trial (Ignatius Press, 2020) as proof.

Where does Fr. Hunter cite Robert O'Reilly?
(He does cite Alfred O'Rahilly.)

I saw even now that Fr. Hunter is still defending the Founding Fathers as using Catholic principles, even using Robert O'Reilly's America on Trial (Ignatius Press, 2020) as proof. Michael Hanby refutes O'Reilly in this case: https://newpolity.com/blog/the-birth-of-liberal-order

Christopher Ferrara's 600 page book, Liberty: The God that Failed

I'd never heard of that work by Ferrara before. Thanks!

Grant's CFN article "St. Robert Bellarmine: Herald of Republics? — Part II" mentions:

Phrases such as, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," or "Life, liberty, or estate," "more disposed to suffer than right themselves," are all found in Locke's Second Treatise.

I think Christopher Ferrara's 600 page book, Liberty: The God that Failed, actually refutes Fr. Hunter, since he actually goes into the history of the US after its founding, and shows that debts, taxes, etc. went up astronomically higher than anything George III did. Ryan Grant reviewed the book here: https://distributistreview.com/archive/liberty-god-that-failed and https://distributistreview.com/archive/review-liberty-god-that-failed-part-ii

De Laicis (On Laymen or Secular People) p. 81 (PDF p. 134, EPUB ref:46.1):

The second error is made by those who go to the other extreme [from statesmen judging religion] and teach that kings must take care of their commonwealth and the public peace, but not religion. They teach that everybody should be allowed to believe and live as they wish, provided that they do not disturb the public peace. The pagans once found themselves in this error, for they approved every religion and admitted every philosophical sect, [...]

The Strange Spirit of Solange Hertz is a good counterpoise to this thread.
So is Timothy Gordon's Catholic Republic.

Anti-Modernism / contra Solange Hertz

The best argument I've seen against the tendency of the above assertions is The Strange Spirit of Solange Hertz.
So is Timothy Gordon's Catholic Republic.
