Good thing that is only in the preamble, and not the bill of rights. Ergo, it only points to the “Spirit” but not the “Letter” of the law, nor does it properly reflect Canon Law or other bases(*) in English Law or other recognized jurisprudence.
Had it referred to a senectuous harridan’s (who is or was
experiencing taedium vitae) affirmation and pronouncement of
obsecration...(as referred to in Ovid’s “Tristia”)...Well that would be acceptable.

You made me look up Latin!

taedium vitae - weariness or loathing of life

It looks as though Real Rain is coming, possible Wednesday, for some days! It seems the corner is turned in the fire getting us. Thankful today. Williams, though...
