Traditional Catholic Theology notes that Nature Law makes clear that Gov is part of human nature, and principal duty is to support the family in all needed ways - that are not best done locally. The unit of State is family, not individuals. Order, Justice, prevents damaging Monopolies and protects Labor from exploit, .. as I recall.

God Bless., Steve

It is "a part of human nature" that people can do bad things and make mistakes. A state (or government) is the worst thing and the biggest mistake. But there are libertarian Catholics such as Tom Woods: https://www.youtube.com/@TomWoodsTV. Hence, Catholicism cannot be universally so mistaken about such matters.
