Fun with Synonyms


Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled.

Synonyms are fun. Here are some.

Universal : Catholic
Declaration :  Profession
of
Human : Natural ("natural" is defined as "being in accordance with or determined by human nature")
Rights : Law (since it's being used in a legal context)


I propose a different title.
Catholic Profession of Natural Law
The United Nations claims to be a secular institution. Yet they use decidedly religious language.

I think the Catholic religion based in New York is worse than the Catholic religion based in Rome. Though due to the increasing Roman Catholic involvement with ecumenism and leftist activism, I suspect that most Roman Catholics (including the Pope) believe in the Primacy of New York.
