The world is going through a pandemic, an expression of the valley of shadow of death present in Psalm 23. Despite the misfortune, it is interesting to see how we exercise our political thinking, also the result of an accelerated awakening in recent years. and the result of so many unbearable scandals, which make Brazilian society love the subject. We learn to balance schools of thought and worldviews: to understand what progressiveism, collectivism, liberalism, conservatism is.
Our intention is to give some traces about what conservatism is in its pure and simple sense: it is a vision of life committed, above all, in tangible reality and, in reality, to understand these small aspects of our daily life: the family and its multiple social dimensions, the possibility of offering, job creation (in an environment of free trade) , with a state guaranteeing legal certainty in agreements, as well as the right to property) and the promotion of human dignity through structured policies aimed at maintaining fundamental rights and guarantees oriented to the common good Conservatism is not simply a romantic idea of the world, a utopian dream, these are premises based on the observation and experience of previous generations , because there is no future without past and present.
- The way we care for our family reveals the political model to which we adhere (in fact).
- Being a Facebook curator.
- But being negligent in protecting the family.
- Is a great hypocrisy.
- Worse.
- When we are so stubborn that we endanger the lives of many others: are we really losing patience?a contempt for the idea of the common good.
- Which has been painstakingly unraveled by the Church physician.
- Thomas Aquinas.
In addition to being the time to strengthen our faith and to be firm in the value of human dignity as a constitutional principle, this is a moment of caution; in the same spirit, a time to support government in all areas. measures taken, and denounce any actions of government officials, mayors or judges who disagree with the Constitution and disagree with the guidelines of the President of the Republic [1][2].
The lesson of religious law that we can leave at this time is that defense for the preservation of institutions [3] must continue to be strengthened. We exercise this faith in the realization of family birth, monitoring how local measures are taken to contain the virus and effectively combat any ideology that attempts to mount the wave of hysteria, or that tries to create immunity for communist regimes that have responsibility for the misfortune in which we live [if the thesis of the development of the virus is not proven , negligence has already taken on: Chinese leaders have been silenced and turned their backs on imminent danger].
Here, it should also be remembered that the Socialist Republic of China already has in its history several acts of violation of the dignity of the human person, such as religious persecution against Christians and the system of social credits that tarnish the privacy of the population and forcing everyone to adopt a benevolent attitude towards a Marxist government.
We must feed all fronts: the front for the protection of our families, the front for government proposals that have existential viability, and the front that does not bend to any system of government that ignores the value of human life.
