In the deepest meaning of strategy, the most important strategic discussions occurring in any part of the world today are being conducted neither in Washington, D.C. nor Moscow, but in connection with ecumenical negotiations involving the highest circles of the Vatican. The strategic issue being discussed, a discussion which might prove to decide the very existence of civilization, or even the continuation of the human species itself, takes the form of the doctrine of the perfect consubstantiality of the Trinity.
Granted, members of the Roman Catholic Confession are only a large minority in the United States today, but on this fundamental doctrinal issue of Christianity, and with the analogous doctrine elaborated for Judaism by Philo of Alexandria, the Protestant Christianity which the Commonwealth party founding fathers of the American colonies brought to these shores is in complete and profound agreement. Moreover, it is the influence of this doctrine on the conscience of even those persons who do not understand the doctrine itself which has made Christian civilization generally, and the United States in particular, a possibility.

However, as we shall indicate here, every aspect of belief in reason and acceptance of a moral, responsibility to behave rationally has been imparted to Christian civilization and the founding body of constitutional law of the United States under the direct auspice of influential minds which were themselves governed by this doctrine.
