#1 The second is simply false. Iâve looked fairly carefully and there is nothing in Catholic doctrine to oppose the separation of civil and religious orders, nor the use of voting within either.

As such, I think he's right. In practice, though, there were numerous clashes between the spiritual and temporal realms in Middle Ages Europe. Of course that was Catholicism vs. Feudalism, not vs. capitalism.

I suspect this is probably what Mr. Warren's correspondents may have had in mind when making the second argument.
