V. The Authorities In Civil Society

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2235
Those who exercise authority should do so as a service. “Whoever would be
great among you must be your servant.”⁴¹ The exercise of authority
is measured morally in terms of its divine origin, its reasonable nature and
its specific object. No one can command or establish what is contrary to the
dignity of persons and the natural law.
