How was it possible to arrive at such a betrayal? How have we come to be considered enemies by those who govern us, not in support of the common good, but rather to feed a hellish machine of death and slavery?

The answer is now clear: throughout the world, in the name of a perverted concept of freedom, we have progressively erased God from society and laws. We have denied that there is an eternal and transcendent principle, valid for all men of all times, to which the laws of States must conform. We have replaced this absolute principle with the arbitrariness of individuals, with the principle that everyone is his legislator. In the name of this insane freedom – which is license and libertinage – we have allowed the Law of God and the law of nature to be violated, legitimizing the killing of children in the womb, even up to the very moment of birth, the killing of the sick and the elderly in hospital wards; the destruction of the natural family and Marriage; we have recognized rights to vice and sin, putting the deviations of individuals before the good of society. In short, we have subverted the entire moral order constituting the indispensable basis of a people’s laws and social life. In the fourth century B.C., Plato wrote these things in his last work, the Laws, and identified the cause of the Athenian political crisis precisely in breaking the divine order – the cosmos – between these eternal principles and human laws.

Be proud of your identity as an American patriot and the Faith that must animate your life. Do not allow anyone to make you feel inferior just because you love your homeland, because you are honest at work, because you want to protect your family and raise your children with healthy values, because you respect the elderly, because you protect life from conception to its natural end. Do not be intimidated or seduced by those who propagate a dystopian world in which a faceless power imposes on your contempt for the Law of God, presents sin and vice as licit and desirable, despises righteousness and Morality, destroys the natural family, and promotes the worst perversions, plans the death of defenseless and weak creatures, and exploits humanity for its profit or to preserve power.

May God bless you, and May God Bless the United States of America.

Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop
