V. The Authorities In Civil Society

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Societies not recognizing this
vision or rejecting it in the name of their independence from God are brought

ideology. Since they do not admit that one can defend an objective criterion of
good and evil, they arrogate to themselves an explicit or implicit totalitarian
power over man and his destiny, as history shows.⁵¹
