A question I still get asked a lot, if less frequently than before, is "How can one be a Catholic and an anarchist?" Among the many opportunities one finds (mostly borne out of misconceptions about the Church) to raise doubts as to the compatibility betwixt the two is "Isn't the Church some sort of empire centered on the Vatican and using the mafia model to spread throughout the globe?" I hope to write a full post about the intricacies of the relationship between freedom and faith in my philosophy, but this resource is a decent response to the specific question of "What about the Vatican"?
Today's daily resource post is an exploration of the relationship between religious and secular society, political theory as applies to "anarchist states". It's a short, easy read (17 pages), and basically just explains away the misconceptions that lead to such a question.
You can read it on this page, or you can download it from Mises, here.
Oh, and one more thing, from whence do you think the mafia got it's organization structure?
