Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)
"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are
Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding. The idea of every nation should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and princes should be seen for the devils they are. The sins include our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of the spirit of God a divide." Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP.
