Saint Martin departed From the Roman Cavalry Renouncing pay and security For at the time everybody knew (That one) cannot believe and kill, too.
Saint Martin in Bravery Switched allegiance heavenward Casting off his shield and sword To go into battle field unarmed No to killing no to harm.
Saint Martin and Saint Ambrose Opposed the killing of heretics O Lord have mercy on us sinners For disagreement in the church (should) only be solved in meek prayer.

Spiritual riches for integrated well-being.
More thoughts. Anglican church does pre-Vatican I liturgy. Chinese Catholic church does pre-Vatican II liturgy. If Chinese Catholics are brought back into Roman Catholic, the present mass would be novel to the rest of the Roman Catholics. Why not just accept the Chinese Catholics as an equal member of the Catholic family, like the Chaldean Catholic, Ukrainian Catholic, Malabar Catholics, etc. This way we bypass the problem of bishop nomination altogether, since the Ukrainian Catholics, along with the rest of the total of 23 catholic denominations, ordain their own bishops anyway.
On Theology Roman Catholics: Satisfaction of reconciliation from the initiative of God. Reformed: Jesus’s penal substitution for God’s wrath. Me: Following the prototype of the passion of Christ, focus on the growing into the full stature of Christ.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all Orthodox, Catholics, Lutheran and Anglican can be reunited again? Of course, plus the Assyrian Apostolic Church and the Oriental Orthodox as well. If a man is called to be a priest, then be Roman Catholic. If a married person wants to be a priest, then Orthodox Catholic, if a woman wants to be a priest, then Lutheran. If a queer person wants to be a priest, than Anglican. We don’t need to pressure the Catholic Church to change anymore, instead, just institute a fluid transfer of believers among the apostolic traditions.
Simply reserve all difference of theology among the apostolic denominations as difference in rites, and profess that unity in Christ in more important than conformity in letters. Wouldn’t it be nice if a parish can have Aramaic rites at 6 am, Byzantine rites at 8, High Church at 9:30, modern Catholic mass at 11 am, and simplified services in the afternoon, and a silent service in the evening...
------------------------------ On inflation
Can we tie the value of currency to food instead of bonds, investment, gold or silver? Let one unit of currency be defined as some 20 grams of starch source (flour, rice, corn meal...) Or 5 grams of dry protein (then translate into the right amount of beans, tofu, meat, jerky...) Or 5 grams of fat (oil, lard...)
Thus, instead of so-called guaranteed income pushing up inflation, people can get a monthly basic food allowance. Of course, there would be a cap on the amount redeemed per visit. Maybe 100 monetary unit per visit?
