It is necessary for the common good that authority should control, in a decent manner, the tranquillity of the community and that of its members. The common good justifies the right of self-defence recognised by law for individuals and for all. The Council declared: "It is not when there is no war, nor when the forces on one side and the other are balanced, that we can say that the country is at peace...". Catechesis on the family, in collaboration with Fr Eric Frank Randriamiandrinirinarivo.

One of the fundamental elements necessary for the common good is the protection by the State of fundamental human rights. Society must enable its individual members to respond to God's call. The common good rests on the conditions for the exercise of natural freedom: in particular the right to act and to act according to good principles of conscience... Catechesis on the family, in collaboration with Fr Eric Frank Randriamiandrinirinarivo.

A fundamental element of the common good is respect for and awareness of fundamental human rights. The common good gives rise to rights and obligations for the whole human generation. Each group of people must take care of the reasonable needs and desires of other groups of people. Humanity is superior to things and is based on respect for rights. Catechesis on the family, in collaboration with Fr Eric Frank Randriamiandrinirinarivo.
