We were created for eternal life by our Creator, we are called to it by the word of God, and we are renewed by holy Baptism.

Democracy is sustainable when its institutional framework promotes normatively desirable and politically desired objectives, such as freedom from arbitrary violence, material security, equality, or justice, and when, in turn, these institutions are adept at handling crises that arise when such objectives are not being fulfilled.
