Without a common loyalty to either a state or a church they have nevertheless a vast deal in common.
Total loyalty is possible only when fidelity is emptied of all concrete content, from which changes of mind might naturally arise.

I felt that a number of people might have questioned my loyalty, but I continue to be a patriotic American.
