An Open Letter to Our Fellow American Citizens
We stand at the crossroads.
Over the next several years, the noble sentiments and ideas that gave birth to the United States will either be repudiated or reaffirmed. The fateful choice before us will result either in the death of a grand hope or a recommitment to an extraordinary political experiment whose full flowering we have yet to realize. The choice will involve either contempt and despair or gratitude and the self-respect worthy of a free people who know long labors lie before them and who proceed with hope toward a dignified future.
In the name of justice and equality, those animated by contempt and despair seek to destroy longstanding but fragile American institutions through which justice and equality can be secured. Destruction of these imperfect but necessary institutions will not hasten the advent of justice and equality but rather accelerate our collapse into barbarism and degradation.
Groups of Americans who today advocate endless racial contempt, who systematically distort our history for political gain, who scapegoat and silence whole groups of citizens, who brazenly justify and advocate violence and the destruction of property invite us not to justice and equality but to an ugly future whose only certainty is fear.
In the face of this threat, the American institutions we must now reaffirm are these:
This crisis is acute, and the hour is late. Like our forebears, we aim both to conserve and reform our institutions in light of enduring principles of justice. That is the task of self-governing people who know they live in an imperfect world and yet are not deterred by its challenges.
We invite all citizens of good will to join us so that together we can strive for liberty and justice for all.

En estos tiempos de caos absoluto dentro del elemento humano de la Iglesia, recomiendo a los católicos de buena voluntad los siguientes documentos de Juan Pablo II:
Sobre la razón y la Fe.
Sobre bioética.
Sobre los actos morales objetivamente buenos o malos.
Sobre el matrimonio.
Sobre el sacramento de la Penitencia.
Sobre los laicos.
Sobre el sentido cristiano del sufrimiento y el dolor.
Sobre la dignidad de la mujer.
Recomiendo enfáticamente la lectura y el estudio de todos
estos documentos, como una forma de oración, como una forma de cumplir el deber
de formarse y madurar en la Fe, y como una forma de alcanzar luz en estos
momentos de oscuridad.
1.¿Por qué se instrumentó una cuarentena para individuos sanos cuando no hay registro de tal restricción en la historia de la humanidad?
