Ther issue of monarchy is at this point purely theological. It does harm to the Catholic church to pretend that a square peg fits in a round hole, -- the ideal form of government is one where moral issues are not voted upon. That means a confessional state and the historical experience, as well as, I think, sociological reality, points to a monarchy. That is all.
There is less injustice in democracy that is confined to a purely economic sphere. although there, too, we must question the validity of one group of peolpe restricting an economic activity of another. There is surely no grave objection to voting in order to decide on organizational matters such as allocation and administration of of resource.
We can speculate when and how the popular attachment to democacy as a self-justified method of governance will fade. There is now zero support for it in America, very little in Europe. It is, of course, silly to advocate any kind of monarchical coup or expect the populace to vote it in (if a monarch is voted in, he is no longer a monarch, as the experience in Bulgaria with Csar Simeon showed). But demoratic states fail, and the ensuing anarchy will produce aristocracy, which, in turn, will produce monarchy. Perhaps, sooner than we think.
For monarchy, I mean.
ducking for cover...
Throwing holy water on the Hollyweird crowd and the Democrats might be a better place to start.
So is the idea that he's a LIBERAL!
