Kαθ' όσον αφορά την Παγκόσμιον καθεστηκυίαν τάξιν και το πολίτευμα το οποίον μας εχει επιβάλει , συμφωνούμε, θρησκευόμενοι και εμείς, με την γνώμην ενός άλλου θρησκευτικού λειτουργού, του Πάπα Bενεδίκτου 16ου:
“The conviction that democracy is not the best form of freedom is common and growing; the Marxist critique cannot simply be ignored.
How free are elections, really?
To what extent do a few power wielders manipulate public opinion through advertising, which is capital?
Isn’t there an oligarchy that decides what is “modern” and “progressive” and what the citizens are supposed to think?
The cruelty of this oligarchy, including its willingness to carry out public executions, is sufficiently known.
Whoever stands in its way is ‘an enemy of Freedom’ since he is ‘hindering the free expression of opinion.’
And what about the ‘expression of the people’s will’ in the committees of ‘democratic representation?’
Who can still believe that the common good is the determining factor for the oligarchy?
Who can still have doubts about the power of the interests whose dirty hands grow ever more obvious? And furthermore: is the system of majority vs. minority really a ‘free’ system?
Aren’t the myriad interest groups more powerful than official political representation? In this confusion of powers, the problem of ungovernability comes ever more ominously to the surface.
The mutual, opposing determination to have one’s way is blocking the freedom of all.”
(Cardinal Ratzinger, "Freiheit und Wahrheit" in Jürgen Schwab, Otto Scrinzi, "Über die Revolution von 1848" Aula-Verlag, Graz 1998)
