Subsidiarity

  • by Sandie
  • 24/09/201324/07/2017

“... the principle of subsidiarity must be respected: a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the later of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good.” John Paul II, Centesimus Annus, n 48

    Why doesn’t the Clergy and the Vatican put it (subsidiarity) into practice if it is so so good.

      Fair comment Carmel. We all need to do it too. I think Pope Francis is moving in this direction with some of the changes he has made.
