else is the ultimate foundation

human rights, and democracy...
We continue to nourish
ourselves from this source.

postmodern chatter."
- Jürgen Habermas
"We desire that this practice... of using distinctive names by which Catholics are marked off from other Catholics, should cease; such names must be avoided... [they] are neither true nor just... they lead to great disturbance and confuse the Catholic body."
- Benedict XV, Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum
