Dear Knights and Dames of our Sovereign Order and State,

All the different Religions are roads that lead the Mankind to God, but, in spite of the differences between religions, God is only one and the same for all, even when called by different names, and this is the reason why it is not understandable, nor acceptable that men kill each other in the name of a God that is the same God for all.
