Right. And if there are taxes and regulations currently imposed
by the state, then don't you think a proponent of subsidiarity would say,
the state should lessen these taxes and regulations, in other words
the state should redistribute the economic benefits the high taxes and onerous regulations currently give to only a relatively few people. Don't you think that's how a proponent of subsidiarity would phrase such a call? Or do you think he'd call for revolution or something?
That's a perfectly acceptable way to describe what lowering taxes and regulations are: when done by the state when the state lowers taxes and regulations, the state is redistributing the economic benefits high taxes and many regulations denied the people at large.
What is wrong there?
Trying to twist Francis' comments for
increased governmental interference into a Ronald Reagan-like call for
decreased government interference is insane.
If he had, Christian conservatives - who understand the true meaning of subsidiarity - would be dancing in the streets. Yes, it first starts with people who EARN the money having the freedom to KEEP that money (so they can best use it to do God's will). That's exactly the OPPOSITE of what Pope Fluffy is calling for.
