Does anarcho-Catholicism exist? If so could anyone recommend some anarcho-catholic writers?
>>8813002
No.
Catholicism implies a divine hierarchy.
>>8813031
Current anarchism just stands for lack of state. Don't be an autist pal
>>8813031
Well so does all Christianity but Tolstoy is still considered anarchist Christian
>>8813002
Got anymore of those? Favorite meme right there
>>8813002
Yeah. Tolkien, for example.

Not an egoist.Nothing is acceptable to an egoist: who would accept it?

I am interested.Could you elaborate?

Dorothy Day called herself a Catholic anarchist, but if you actually examine her positions she really just seems to be a theocrat. She believed in the primacy of the Church above all demands the nation-state could make.I think that's an extremely attractive position, as a Catholic myself.

Not really. Tolkien kept out of politics, for the most part -- most of what we know comes from private letters. What he really was was a nostalgist. He wanted to go back to the never-happened times of good kings and simple folk.
>Does anarcho-Catholicism exist?
Anarchy in the Church is called protestantism.

Like the Papal States and Vatican City? Theocracy is not anarchy.

All we have is in Letter 52 to his son Christopher:
>My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs)—or to 'unconstitutional' Monarchy."
Given how confused are his views, I would think political philosophy is not his proficiency, he should probably leave this King of Anarchy back to the wizard's tower where he picked the idea up, and stick to writing his elven genealogies.

There's a bit about it in this Wiki entry on the movement she founded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Worker_Movement

Is the pope an anarchist?
Dorothy Day

All you need to know is that one line by Jesus about giving Caesar what's coming to him...

Don't know it is worth.
I think Maurice G. Dantec used to describe himself as catholic and right wing anarchist.

That lesson from Christ is actually a trick answer. You fell for it.
ALL THESE FUCKING TERRIBLE POSTS.

I'm partial towards Distributism, but that's not really an anarchist ideology. It's super-Catholic though

Stop shopping for ideologies on wikipedia

Closest would be the Chesterbelloc, which isn't truly anarcho. Produon was a frog so maybe he was influenced by Catholic Social Teaching but odds are he was anti-clerical
>>8813124
Sometimes I wonder if these typos are deliberate.
>>8813002
No. Hierarchy and structure are extremely important to its claims.
>>8813045
Tolstoy wasn't actually a Christian. As in he denied the divinity of Christ.
>>8813161
Nope, just a marxist.
>>8813908
Pacifism as a position of absolute aversion to all military conflict is directly opposed to the Catholic doctrine of just war.
>>8814960
Chesterbelloc was just a position that advocated for guilds and agrarian based economy.

>Anarchy in the Church is called protestantism.
This. Positions that deviate from Church teachings have a name, and it's "heresy."
The Church likes to stay in the middle. She doesn't approve of either anarchism or totalitarianism.
