But another answer to this question is that there is no answer, insofar as what the Church cares about is the salvation of souls, so that her foremost concern, when it comes to the governance of people, is not whether the governance conforms to a certain type (though of course the Church’s mission compels her to work against oppression, for she is forever on the side of the poor and the downtrodden), but whether that governance allows a soul to draw closer to God.
