SABATO MORAIS

An elected official, chosen by a large constituency, as the guardian of inalienable rights, ought not to have evinced a spirit of exclusiveness. He should have remembered that the people he governs are not of one mind touching religious dogmas, and by asking all to pray that ‘our paths through life be directed by the example and instructions of the Redeemer’ … he casts reflections upon thousands, who hold a different creed from that which he avows.
