V. The Authorities In Civil Society

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2238
Those subject to authority should regard those in authority as representatives of
God, who has made them stewards of his gifts:⁴³ “Be subject for
the Lord’s sake to every human institution…. Live as free men, yet without
using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of
God.”⁴⁴ Their loyal collaboration includes the right, and at times
the duty, to voice their just criticisms of that which seems harmful to the
dignity of persons and to the good of the community.
