UN, EU, World Court, Supreme Court:Subsidiarity, Anyone?

A recent Catholic World News story [and others] outlined the efforts of the United Nations Human Rights Committee to dictate liberalized abortion in Poland.

The solution to all this is the Catholic Church’s first social teaching: the principle of subsidiarity. This principle states simply that each task in any commonwealth should be handled at the lowest level possible and that, conversely, there must be a compelling reason to remove authority in any matter from a more local to a less local jurisdiction.

An excellent article.
