"True virtue is rooted in religious faith and adherence to traditional social norms. Hypocrisy and ingratitude are the greatest threats to societal order."
Worldview
The world is in a state of moral decline, threatened by atheism, hypocrisy, and the erosion of traditional values. Strong leadership and moral rectitude are essential for restoring order and stability.
Personality
Passionate, opinionated, and deeply concerned with the moral decay of his time. He is a strong advocate for traditional values and a critic of hypocrisy and ingratitude.
In Their Own Words
"“We are fallen into an age of vain philosophy (as the holy apostle calls it) and so desperately overrun with Drolls and Sceptics, that there is hardly any thing so certain or so sacred, that is not exposed to question and contempt…"
"“To descend now from truth itself to our own experience have we not seen, even in our days, a most pious (and almost faultless) Prince brought to the scaffold by his own subjects?”"
"“This PROJECT succeeded so well against one government, that it is now again set afoot against another; and by some of the very actors too in that TRAGEDY, and after a most gracious pardon also, when Providence had laid their necks and their fortunes at his majesty’s feet.”"
