Decree on Religious Life
- Article 4

One sentence stands out in this article:

A visitor to the 2004 Athens Olympics remarked about the habits of Greek drivers and pedestrians: "Red lights are only a suggestion"

Jesus, may (good and reasonable) rules and laws be more than a suggestion in my life!
