So many Catholics do not understand subsidiarity. Let the smallest form of government take care of a problem if need be.

SUBSIDIARITY

The principle by which those in authority recongize the rights of the members in a society; and those in higher authority respect the rights of those in lower authority.

Solidarity and subsidarity. The best way help our neighbor is for us to do it directly, not leave it to the community, much less to government. What is the old saying? Charity begins at home? For instance, teach you kid at home, don’t leave your child in the hands of strangers. They will attempt to steal away his loyalty and your common faith.
