“But look, is there anyone who still believes that "this" (neo)Church has a modicum of authority left!”. This is what I said to myself when I received angry and saddened letters, and friends have sent me critical articles on Bergoglio's last act: the correction of the Catechism on the death penalty. For two thousand years the Church, his saints and doctors (therefore infallible) they have …

The care of Di Pietro Carlo
PRINCIPAL OF THE GOVERNMENT
• As the book of Proverbs says: «The king's heart is in the hands of God; to everything he wants, He bends it". And the famous great monarch of the East also confesses this, Ciro, King of the Persians, with a public edict. In fact after defeating Babylon, which he had razed to the ground, as the story goes, said these words, as appears at the beginning of the Book of Ezra: «Thus says Cyrus, King of the Persians: – The Lord, the God of heaven, he has given me all the kingdoms of the earth". From this it is evident that all dominion comes from God as from the first lord: something that can be demonstrated, as Aristotle mentions, through three ways, that is, considering it as an entity, as an engine, as an end.
• Under the aspect of an entity: because all the individual entities must be traced back to the first entity, as at the beginning of every entity, just as all heat must be traced back to the heat of fire, according to Aristotle's explanations in the second book of the Metaphysics. So, for the same reason that every entity depends on the first entity, dominion will also depend on him; since it is based on being; and on an even more noble entity, How much, to dominate over men of equal nature, a man is placed before them. But from this one must not draw reason to be proud, but rather to govern his people with humanity, as Seneca says in a letter to Lucilius. This is why it is written in Ecclesiasticus: «They made you boss? Don't show pride: be among them as one of them". Therefore, as every entity depends on the first entity, which is the primary cause, so also every dominion of the creature depends on God as the first dominant and first being.
• Moreover: every plurality proceeds from the one, and is measured with unity, as the tenth book of Aristotle's First Philosophy teaches; therefore in the same way the plurality of dominants also originates from a single dominant, which is God. Precisely as in the royal court we find the respective superintendents for the various tasks, but they all depend on one, that is, by the king. Therefore Aristotle in the twelfth book of First Philosophy says that «God, that is, the first cause, he is to the entire universe as the commander, on which all the multiplicity of camps depends, it's up to the army". Therefore Moses in Exodus also calls God the leader of the people: «In your mercy – dice – you made yourself leader of the people you liberated". Therefore every dominion originates from God.

Of Alain de Benoist

Signor Alain de Benoist, in some environments, we tend to oppose two notions that everyone talks about today: identity and sovereignty. Nel Front National, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen would have represented the first, in opposition to Florian Philippot, which above all defends the second. Such opposition seems legitimate to her?
“Interviewed a few weeks ago by Causer magazine, Marine Le Pen said: "My project is intrinsically patriotic because it defends the sovereignty and identity of France in the same movement. When you forget one of the two, and the bar". So, we don't cheat. Because they should see themselves in the identity and sovereignty of opposing ideas, when they are complementary? Sovereignty without identity is but an empty shell, identity without sovereignty has every possibility of transforming into ectoplasm. So you don't need to separate them. One and the other, Furthermore, they are part of freedom. To be sovereign is to be free to decide your own policy. Preserving one's identity implies, for a people, to be able to freely decide the conditions of one's own social reproduction".
While identity is a necessarily vague concept, sovereignty is no longer easy to define?
“Less than it seems. The “one and indivisible” sovereignty recalled by Jean Bodin in The Six Books of the Republic (1576) it has little to do with sovereignty based on subsidiarity and the principle of sufficient competence, of which Althusius speaks in 1603 in his Politica methodice digesta. Bodin's approach is eminently modern. It implies the nation-state and the disappearance of the distinction that was previously made between power (power) and the authority or dignity of power (authority). Read More
