Subsidiarity in Politics


Tom Woods endorses Ron Paul in the video below. Additionally, this is an excellent video on how Catholics can approach American politics without compromising their Catholic principles. I don’t think enough Catholics understand, or have even heard of, the Catholic concept of subsidiarity; I didn’t even know what it was prior to this video.

Origin according to Wikipedia: The word subsidiarity is derived from the Latin word subsidiarius and was first described formally in Catholic social teaching .[1] The concept or principle is found in several constitutions around the world (for example, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which asserts States rights and further, the rights of the people).
