CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
SECOND EDITION


PART THREE
LIFE IN CHRIST

SECTION ONE
MAN'S VOCATION LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

CHAPTER TWO
THE HUMAN COMMUNION

ARTICLE 1
THE PERSON AND SOCIETY

I. THE COMMUNAL CHARACTER OF THE HUMAN VOCATION

Socialization also presents dangers. Excessive intervention by the state can threaten personal freedom and initiative. The teaching of the Church has elaborated the principle of subsidiarity, according to which "a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to co- ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good."7

1885 The principle of subsidiarity is opposed to all forms of collectivism. It sets limits for state intervention. It aims at harmonizing the relationships between individuals and societies. It tends toward the establishment of true international order

1894 In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, neither the state nor any larger society should substitute itself for the initiative and responsibility of individuals and intermediary bodies.



From what I have seen, I think that the principle of subsidiarity is an excellent concept. I must add, that I believe that a "World Authority" will honor this principle only in the breach.

INDEED.

subsidiarity

Is a VERY, VERY, VERY POOR FIG-LEAF

AT LEAST because the global government will care no more about it than they do the 6.X billion people they want to murder to reduce the population to 200 million.

It is beyond laughable that subsidiarity would benefit one poor person in the name of love or anything else with a global government in power—particularly the one already in power covertly and increasingly rapidly more overtly.

I understand the doctrines of freedom as derived from Scripture. What is the Scriptural evidence for subsidiarity?
