Everyone believes that democracy is the best form of government and that everyone should live in a democratic state. But the terrible disruptions of civil peace going on all over the globe demand more than democratic governments with democratic leaders. We need holy democratic leaders, saintly leaders, men who will not take any action with the power voted to them by their fellow citizens unless it is good, honest, pure, moral and in the best interest of all. Down with all leaders who are merely pragmatic! We need leaders who really believe that every human being has universal rights that must be supported and respected and that humanity possesses a divine purpose for living on earth. It is an illusion to believe that because the bourgeoisie took control of states in the 19th century and used governments exclusively to make laws to support their selfish economic goals that humanity is condemned forever to suffer dominated by greedy and selfish leaders who never consult the grace to do good that God put in their soul. Peoples in the past created communities inspired by their sense of the divine. Ancient Egypt was a divine empire. Ancient philosophers believed the business of governing was a divine vocation. Moses's laws tried to make moral goodness the basis of his community. Saint Augustine in his great book, The City Of God, the Civitas Dei, claims that in world history two states exist side by side, the civitas dei and the civitas terrena, the heavenly city of God composed of the good and the earthly city composed of the unredeemed. Nation-states in our time do have nasty, difficult, practical problems to deal with but that should never be an excuse for leaders acting corruptly and immorally. A government like our government in Washington with its trillions of dollars in revenue and its freedom as a central government from the day-to-day tasks of state governments should never act selfishly and immorally. Washington should become in our 21st century a central world international government of a worldwide union of states with saintly leaders gathered from all over our globe promoting with their great power Saint Augustine’s civitas dei.
