"Thou
shalt not kill." God engraved this commandment on the souls of
men long before any penal code... God has engraved these commandments
in our hearts... They are the unchangeable and fundamental truths of
our social life... Where in Germany and where, here, is obedience to
the precepts of God? [...] As for the first commandment, "Thou
shalt not have strange gods before me," instead of the One,
True, Eternal God, men have created at the dictates of their whim,
their own gods to adore: Nature, the State, the Nation, or the Race.
--
Blessed Clemens August von Galen
