Catholic Political Thought is subtle deception. A first glance reveals nothing sinister. That is just what the Ruler of Darkness behind Catholic thinking wants us to believe. The Roman Catholic Church government operates by diktat and control, rather than having any openness to ordinary folks hearing from God. Knowledge of God is held and controlled by a superbly trained and indoctrinated elite.
Real power resides in the hands of a very few at the top - an oligarchy.
No real religious freedoms are permitted outside the Catholic Church. Catholic Political Thought is a progressive lie. It espouses oligarchy, and not democracy. Processes of government are to be hidden not open. Decisions are handed down by diktat, not developed through debate at all levels.
