Abstract

This article constitutes a reding on a catholic document: Christian Demands on a Political Order in its oficial and popular versions. Through this document we try to detec the tricks used by catholic hierarchy in order to disguise its authoritarian position in political area. We are bound to conclude that the popular version takes either to a metamorphosis in important concepts or just hides them thus hiding Church’s extremely antidemocratic and authoritarium position.
