- That all men and women are created equal,
- That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
- That among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men and Women, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
- That whenever ?any? Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
To my friends and detractors:
The above is the cultural-context in which the American Catholic breaths. This context makes us who we are; it is where our treasure is. If the governance of our religion does not adhere to our contextual-culture-governance and becomes intolerant to it, then we have a Right to alter that religion governance, or to abolish it, and to institute new governance. Hence, our American Catholic governance has to become that all men and women are created equal and they are endowed and so on. Faith must not contradict Unalienable Rights, and if Faith does we must fight that frivolous, bogus Faith to the death. If not, WE betray our own reason and faith; we betray our own dignity and integrity; we commit treason against the Creator who endowed us with undisputed rights. If we surrender our reason, and faith in the God of Jesus we become vomit; Jesus died in vain and so the Kingdom of Our Father.
