Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This insightful book delves into the historical evolution of democracy and its complex manifestations within the institution of the Church. The author explores the concept of the ideal Christian democracy, arguing that it is one where individuals voluntarily surrender their self-interests for the collective wellbeing, creating a society governed by the principles of equality, interdependence, and love. However, the book also examines the historical failures of the Church to fully embody these democratic ideals, highlighting the presence of autocratic tendencies and the lack of genuine unity. It argues that these inefficiencies stem from a failure to fully embrace the principles of Christian love and service, leading to a disconnect between the stated beliefs and the practical actions of the institution. By examining the causes and consequences of these inefficiencies, the book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by Christian democracy in the modern world.
