"We have concluded that when the principle of racial division (i.e. phyletism) is juxtaposed with the teaching of the Gospel and the constant practice of the Church, it is not only foreign to it, but also completely opposed, to it. We decree the following in the Holy Spirit: 1. We reject and condemn racial division, that is, racial differences, national quarrels and disagreements in the Church of Christ, as being contrary to the teaching of the Gospel and the holy canons of our blessed fathers, on which the holy Church is established and which adorn human society and lead it to Divine piety. 2. In accordance with the holy canons, we proclaim that those who accept such division according to races and who dare to base on it hitherto unheard-of racial assemblies are foreign to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and are real schismatics."

    Here is a very happy little video:

    Christ is Risen and brings the joy

    People rejoice, nations hear:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Stars dance, mounts sing:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Forests murmur, winds hum:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Seas bow*, animals roar:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Bees swarm, and the birds sing:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!

    Angels stand, triple the song:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Sky humble yourself, and elevate the earth:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Bells chime, and tell to all:
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
    Glory to You God, everything is possible to You,
    Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
