You burden yourselves with a great responsibility when you cause your fellow human beings to act contrary to Christian teaching and try to enforce this through coercive measures. For now it is not them but you yourselves who will be punished for having done so. The person who is forced is not of his own will and therefore cannot be held responsible. But you, who have subjugated this will, must bear the consequences and atone for your injustice. The actual act will not be condemned as much as the originator of such an act. Thus you should not believe that you can cause your fellow human being to commit an evil deed with impunity.... without being called to account yourselves. And it will now be understandable to you that an injustice cannot be condoned because it is supposed to bring some kind of benefit...., that the principle ‘The end justifies the means....’ is therefore never recognised by God but that such an opinion is completely erroneous. Every bad seed can only bear bad fruits, i.e. a bad deed can never result in any advantage for people that benefits them spiritually. Although earthly advantages are sometimes undeniable, they will never find God's approval or His blessing. Consequently, all those who benefit from a bad deed must also accept the consequences of the bad deed, they must bear the greatest suffering if they want to make amends for the injustice for which they are responsible. For no guilt can remain unatoned for, and it is far better to atone for a guilt in earthly life than to take it over into the hereafter and to endure torment that cancels out that guilt. What happens under this principle.... The ends justify the means.... what has emerged as an alleged advantage from such action will also never be blessed or bring spiritual benefit to the person, for God does not approve of measures which contradict the commandment to love one's neighbour, which seem to have arisen from a noble disposition but in reality clearly show the adversary's doing. And the person responsible for it, as well as all those who approve of his plan, will be called to account, as it is the greatest injustice before God.

Amen
