Value #6:
Value: Those seeking public office should foreswear spin and contempt, and be truthful with the public and civil to one another.
Rationale: We should all “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) and seek to “show proper respect to everyone” (1 Peter 2:17).
Debate: There is no debate about this one. You can “advertize” but not fabricate; you can criticize but not disrespect.
Questions to Ask: Do the facts about the candidate’s own performance as well as that of the opponent match with candidates’ words? Is the candidate attempting to correct rather than seeking to benefit from the spin that others, without his direct endorsement, do on his behalf.

Values 1-6 here appeared to be the spun off from Marx and Engel original essay of the Communist Manifeste.
Readers should check it out.
Christian Communism existed long time before Marx-Engel time. Then the communists were theists too.
Same double standards for conveniences in how and the gown is used i.e
-Euro Women wearing gowns and caps to go to sleep,other hands only
- Popes or Shepherds wearing gowns and caps to preside over services in churches and display for public.
