I. Authority

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1903
Authority is exercised legitimately only when it seeks the common good of the
group concerned and if it employs morally licit means to attain it. If rulers
were to enact unjust laws or take measures contrary to the moral order, such
arrangements would not be binding in conscience. In such a case,
“authority breaks down completely and results in shameful
abuse.”²³
