Society ought to promote the exercise of virtue, not obstruct it. Society should respect the just hierarchy of values. If society has failed in this duty, then it is necessary to call for the conversion of hearts and appeal to the grace of God. The solution to all social questions is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Authority is that quality which allows persons or institutions to make laws and give orders to people, and expect obedience from them.
Every human community needs an authority to govern it.
The citizens of a society choose the political regime, and give lawful authority to the rulers to serve the legitimate good of that community. Authority is exercised lawfully if it is committed to the common good of society and exercised within the limits of the moral order. It must also guarantee the conditions for the exercise of freedom. No, they undermine their own authority by doing so. The common good is the sum total of social conditions which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfilment more fully and more easily.
