803. Are all people equal before God?
“Yes, all tend toward the same goal; God has made the divine laws for everybody. You often say, ‘The sun shines the same on everyone’ and you thereby state a greater and more general truth than you might think.”
All are subject to the same laws of nature; all are born with the same fragility; all are subject to the same sufferings; the bodies of the rich decompose like the bodies of the poor. Therefore, God has not granted a natural superiority to anyone, either by birth or by death: all are equal before God.
