When you come right down to it, this is unarguably true:
...Man’s final end beyond this world of sin and shadows is no dream—although our fallen natures and the depredations of the devil make it no certainty. God bestows legitimacy upon authority for no other reason than that last end; to be legitimate, authority has no right to direct power, other than to bring Man toward his proper Last End. Power, in turn, has no right to be exercised save to that goal....
You may have noticed that the Government(s) in this country and many other countries do not recognize the truth above.
Nor will they in the near- or distant future.
In fact, in this country, Government(s) are often actively opposing that truth.
That leads, inexorably, to Totalitarianism, and you're seeing the beginnings of it as we type.
