Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)
"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are
Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding. The idea of every nation
should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and
princes should be seen for the devils they are. The sins include
our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of
the spirit of God a divide."

mother
once asked her, why she had such a mind to go? whether it was not to see
fine folks? She said, No, it was to hear Mr. Edwards preach. When she is
in the place of worship, she is very far from spending her time there as
children at her age usually do, but appears with an attention that is
very extraordinary for such a child. She also appears very desirous at
all opportunities to go to private religious meetings; and is very still
and attentive at home, during prayer, and has appeared affected in time
of family-prayer. She seems to delight much in hearing religious
conversation. When I once was there with some strangers, and talked to
her something of religion, she seemed more than ordinarily attentive;
and when we were gone, she looked out very wistfully after us, and said,
I wish they would come again! Her mother asked her, Why? Says she, I
love to hear 'em talk.
She seems to have very much of the fear of God before her eyes, and an
extraordinary dread of sinning against Him; of which her mother
mentioned the following remarkable instance. Some time in August, the
last year, she went with some bigger children to get some plums in a
neighbor's lot, knowing nothing of any harm in what she did; but when
she brought some of the plums into the house, her mother mildly reproved
her, and told her that she must not get plums without leave, because it
was sin: God had commanded her not to steal. The child seemed greatly
surprised, and burst out in tears, and cried out, I won't have these
plums! and turning to her sister
