I know that Josemaria Escriva wanted the catechism of Christian doctrine to refer to the social and political obligations of Christians in civil society. In this way, Catholics from childhood could be educated in unity of life: a good Christian must also be a good citizen. His wish has come true. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in the third part, dedicates an entire section to this topic.
