Michelle Zayas Catholic Social Teaching 10/26/2015 Chapter 5a #2 Subsidiarity ? Different parts of our society, or in this case, let?s just say city, should come together to do the best possible good for everyone who lives here. Those who are helping should live here, and not those people (or authorities) who run things in politics (like politicians in Austin or even Washington, D.C.) I believe that anyone can understand this idea one you simplify it. The word subsidiarity, if not fully understood, sounds like something that only happens in higher government and can only be handled through them. #6
