V. The Authorities In Civil Society

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

When citizens are under the
oppression of a public authority which oversteps its competence, they should
still not refuse to give or to do what is objectively demanded of them by the
common good; but it is legitimate for them to defend their own rights and those
of their fellow citizens against the abuse of this authority within the limits
of the natural law and the Law of the Gospel.⁵⁰
