Political power ensures that the life of the family is harmonious and lives together; politics does not represent individuals or groups of people, but organizes and guides, in mutual respect and concern for the power of individuals and groups of people, in order to achieve the common good. Catechesis on the Church, the family and politics, in collaboration with P. Abdon Rafidison.

Politics is an effort to coordinate all aspects of power, because "people are many and different and it is right that they should have different opinions". Everyone has their own way of thinking, so it is necessary to have an authority capable of coordinating the power of all for the common good so that the State is not destroyed. Catechesis on the Church, the family and politics, in collaboration with Fr Abdon Rafidison.

Among these four elements, the Council emphasises the special role of preserving the common good, which is at the forefront of the goal of public life. The common good is a combination of modes of public life in which individuals, families and groups can develop more fully and flexibly. The political family aims for the common good. Catechesis on the Church, the family and politics, in collaboration with Fr Abdon Rafidison.

Catechesis on the Church, the family and politics, in collaboration with Fr Abdon Rafidison.
