God”. The famous principles mask the true intent, which was
successfully confused with lies.
Now, in the Constitution: “The Church in the Modern
World”, it states: “The Church, therefore, by virtue of the
Gospel (?) committed to Her, proclaims the “rights of
man”; She acknowledges and greatly esteems the dynamic
movements of today by which these rights are everywhere
fostered.”
If so, then one cannot be surprised by Paul VI’s declaration
in Manila: “I feel the need to profess, here more than

We would expect that a Pope would feel the need to profess

(Nov. 17, 1974).
He insists: “Wishing to convert fully to the Lord and

version of the Gospel, whereas it was the complete opposite!
The Gospel, in fact, does not teach human rights, but
rather teaches the duties that we have towards God, although
while respecting those duties to GOD, the rights of our
