"It is an injustice, a grave evil and a disturbance of the right order,
for a larger and higher organisation, to arrogate to itself functions
which can be performed efficiently by smaller and lower bodies."
by:
Pope Leo XIII
(1810-1903)
Source:
The first principle against subsidiarity (giving away power) in the first ecumenical by Pope Leo XIII (and later recalled in papal encyclical 'Quadragesimo Anno' in 1931).
