ARTICLE TWO

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Questions for Article Two

When you think of your experience of Jesus—in scripture, the sacraments, in your prayer life, and in the tradition of the church:
—What suggests that we are entitled to freedom?
—What evidence that we have that Jesus makes no distinctions of the kind mentioned above?
—Are there distinctions Jesus rejects that are not enumerated above?

In your view, does the language of Article 2 of the Declaration:
—Limit the forms of discrimination that should be rejected?
—Apply only to governments or nation-states?
