Liberalism
A free way of thinking and acting in private and public life.
Definition
The word liberal is derived from the Latin liber, free, and up to the end
of the eighteenth century signified only "worthy of a free man", so that people
spoke of "liberal arts", "liberal occupations". Later the term was
applied also to those qualities of intellect and of character, which were considered an
ornament becoming those who occupied a higher social position on account of their wealth
and education. Thus liberal got the meaning of intellectually independent,
broad-minded, magnanimous, frank, open, and genial. Again Liberalism may also mean a
political system or tendency opposed to centralization and absolutism. In this sense
Liberalism is not at variance with the spirit and teaching of the Catholic Church. Since
the end of the eighteenth century, however, the word has been applied more and more to
certain tendencies in the intellectual, religious, political, and economical life, which
implied a partial or total emancipation of man from the supernatural, moral, and Divine
order. Usually, the principles of 1789, that is of the French Revolution, are considered
as the Magna Charta of this new form of Liberalism. The most fundamental principle asserts
an absolute and unrestrained freedom of thought, religion, conscience, creed, speech,
press, and politics. The necessary consequences of this are, on the one hand, the
abolition of the Divine right and of every kind of authority derived from God; the
relegation of religion from the public life into the private domain of one's individual
conscience; the absolute ignoring of Christianity and the Church as public, legal, and
social institutions; on the other hand, the putting into practice of the absolute autonomy
of every man and citizen, along all lines of human activity, and the concentration of all
public authority in one "sovereignty of the people". This sovereignty of the
people in all branches of public life as legislation, administration, and jurisdiction, is
to be exercised in the name and by order of all the citizens, in such a way, that all
should have share in and a control over it. A fundamental principle of Liberalism is the
proposition: "It is contrary to the natural, innate, and inalienable right and
liberty and dignity of man, to subject himself to an authority, the root, rule, measure,
and sanction of which is not in himself". This principle implies the denial of all
true authority; for authority necessarily presupposes a power outside and above man to
bind him morally.
