如果執政當局的命令違背道德的要求,公民憑良心有責任不去順從。


463. 在公民社會各方面應如何執行權力?

執行權力應視為一種服務,要尊重人的基本權利、正確的價值等級、法治、分配的正義和輔助性的原則。執行權力的人,必須尋求公益而非己益,應依照有關天主、人和世界的真理所得到的啟發,來作決定。

464. 公民對政府有何本份?

服從權威的人,應視他們的上司如同天主的代表,給予他們忠誠的合作,以達致公共和社會生活的順利發展。這包括愛國及服務國家、選舉的權利和義務、納稅、保衛國家和作建設性批評的權利。

465. 公民何時不該服從政府?

如果執政當局的命令違背道德的要求,公民憑良心有責任不去順從。「聽天主的命勝過聽人的命」(宗5:29)。

463. How should authority be exercised in the various spheres of civil society?

Authority should always be exercised as a service, respecting fundamental human rights, a just hierarchy of values, laws, distributive justice, and the principle of subsidiarity. All those who exercise authority should seek the interests of the community before their own interest and allow their decisions to be inspired by the truth about God, about man and about the world.

464. What are the duties of citizens in regard to civil authorities?

Those subject to authority should regard those in authority as representatives of God and offer their loyal collaboration for the right functioning of public and social life. This collaboration includes love and service of one's homeland, the right and duty to vote, payment of taxes, the defense of one's country, and the right to exercise constructive criticism.

465. When is a citizen forbidden to obey civil authorities?

A citizen is obliged in conscience not to obey the laws of civil authorities when they are contrary to the demands of the moral order: “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts of the Apostles 5:29).
