A Polish friend of SGET sums it up nicely. She writes:
” Economic Liberalism (the base), or Capitalism, dictates the superstructure (Cultural Liberalism) to increase Capitalists’ profits” .
But what does the Church propose in opposition to Economic Liberalism?
Find out in this short article: The Corporatist remedy to Economic Liberalism
“From this it is manifest that the eternal law of God is the sole standard and rule of human liberty, not only in each individual man, but also in the community and civil society which men constitute when united. Therefore, the true liberty of human society does not consist in every man doing what he pleases, for this would simply end in turmoil and confusion, and bring on the overthrow of the State; but rather in this, that through the injunctions of the civil law all may more easily conform to the prescriptions of the eternal law. Likewise, the liberty of those who are in authority does not consist in the power to lay unreasonable and capricious commands upon their subjects, which would equally be criminal and would lead to the ruin of the commonwealth; but the binding force of human laws is in this, that they are to be regarded as applications of the eternal law, and incapable of sanctioning anything which is not contained in the eternal law, as in the principle of all law. Thus, St. Augustine most wisely says: “I think that you can see, at the same time, that there is nothing just and lawful in that temporal law, unless what men have gathered from this eternal law.”(5) If, then, by anyone in authority, something be sanctioned out of conformity with the principles of right reason, and consequently hurtful to the commonwealth, such an enactment can have no binding force of law, as being no rule of justice, but certain to lead men away from that good which is the very end of civil society.”

The U.K. and the U.S.A.: “United by common values and shared interests”
But not by Christian values or Christian interests!
Both States, the U.K. and the U.S.A., were born from Protestantism and Freemasonry upon the back of the destruction of Christendom. Thus came into being ‘The West’ with its shared Enlightenment values, so-called ‘values’ collectively condemned by the Christian Church in her Syllabus of Errors.
Christian values or Western values?
Choose your side. There is no middle-ground.
“All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the easy-going weakness of Catholics”
– Pope St. Pius X, 1908, discourse at the beatification of St. Joan of Arc
“It is the duty of all Catholics worthy, of the name … to endeavour to bring back all civil society to the pattern and form of Christianity which We have described”
– Pope Leo XIII, 1885, Immortale Dei
