Defenders of a true human liberty need at once to "get bigger" and "get smaller." Rather than embrace the false universalism of "globalism," a true universality - under God - shows us the infinite narrowness of "globalization" and points us to the true nature of transcendence. And the only appropriate way to live in and through this transcendent is in the loci of the particular, those places which do not aspire to dim the light of the eternal City.
We need rather to attend to our States and localities, our communities and neighbourhoods, our families and our Church, making them viable alternatives and counterpoints to the monopolization of individual and State in our time, and thus to relearn the ancient virtue of self-government, and true liberty itself.
We have to attend to our States because of how sovereignty is currently understood and claimed, but even some of them are too big.

CATHOLICS …. You need to read this.
It will stir some latent memories that need to be rekindled.
I published my pamphlet as an eBook. I wrote it for all the world to enjoy. However, I think that people who promote, practice, love & live LIBERTY and share our old school Catholic upbringing with a religious fervor will like it the most.
I invite you to download it at NO COST and read it. The title is, "The Newest Baltimore Catechism". It is a quick read and if you think it has value, please share the link with your associates and like it on Facebook. I thank you in advance.

IMPRIMATUR
Maryland, June 25, 2012. Francesco Marioni, Consigliere of Baltimore
Baltimore, June 25, 2012. The Catechism declared by WE THE PEOPLE, having been diligently compared and examined, is hereby approved.
+WE THE PEOPLE, Sovereign Citizens of the United States of America.
The Baltimore Catechism was the de facto standard Catholic school text in the United States from 1885 to the late 1960s. it was the first such catechism written for Catholics in North America. The Newest Baltimore Catechism ©2012 is not a religious text and it should be taught in all schools in these united states. Mandatory testing and a demonstrated high level of competency should also be required of all persons seeking public office and public service jobs. This pamphlet is a concise declaration presented in religious style of the proper relationship between citizens and their state; between the master and the servant.
Respectfully submitted in Liberty,
Francesco Marioni
Sovereign Citizen of the United States of America
