The economical thought at Caritas in veritate
with Sergio Morisoli
ECONOMY AND WORLDWIDE GOVERNMENT?
I would be careful in translating immediately
that this encyclical proposes
a kind of world wide government,
of super-state, of government of the right,
because it does not mention in any place,
while recalls often that certain problems,
nowadays must be solved
with the maximum consent from
the politicians of each State,
this is the formulation because it introduces
a concept of subsidiarity also in the politics,
it’s not like that it needs a super-state
where only the best will be elected etc.
it's not that, also because
the Church in it’s tradition,
knows perfectly that models or
correct systems where the man
must not be more clever
or correct, don't exist.
So it would be in contradiction.
I dare say that the paragraph 67
where they make this approximation of ideas,
is not the most successful of the hole encyclical,
it has not been deepened sufficiently,
I think that something needed to be said,
but it may become a dangerous misunderstanding.
Exactly this, to misunderstand
what the Church would like and besides
the encyclical explains very well
in all the other pages, with a solution
liable of a kind of
worldwide government,
instead of a formulation
much more thought,
calibrated and decentralized
than this kind of coordination
of globalization and the problems it produces.
