"The Catholic School agrees with the socialists in much of their criticism of the competitive system, but parts company with them by insisting on the place of religion, the family, property, and the employer system in the social scheme. In the matter of state intervention, there are among Catholic writers two general tendencies. The more "liberal" wing, led by such economists as Le Play, Périn, and Victor Brants, would reduce state action to a minimum, while others, looking to Bishop Ketteler, Cardinal Manning, and Count de Mun, would invoke a considerable measure of so-called State socialism. A strong impulse towards unity of effort among Catholics was given by the publication of the encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII, "Rerum Novarum", of 15 May, 1891, and "Graves de Communi", of 18 January, 1901."

Ah but you are. Every time you vote for something, every time you support restrictive laws or legislation you try to run my life. And every time I go to a rally that is prochoice, or sign a petition for the legalization of drugs, I'm trying to run yours, by making society different from the way you would want it to be. That is the nature of a society. We all get in each other business. You can deny it if you like, but I can't possibly agree with you, and I can't imagine anything you can say that would make me view it otherwise.
