Does anarcho-Catholicism exist? If so could anyone recommend some anarcho-catholic writers?

No.
Catholicism implies a divine hierarchy.
Brayden Walker
Current anarchism just stands for lack of state. Don't be an autist pal
Jordan Kelly
Well so does all Christianity but Tolstoy is still considered anarchist Christian
Dylan Cook
Got anymore of those? Favorite meme right there
Matthew Bell
Yeah. Tolkien, for example.
Benjamin Wood
>everything is acceptable
>as long as
Not an egoist. Nothing is acceptable to an egoist: who would accept it?
Ethan Morgan
I am interested.Could you elaborate?
Justin Hernandez
Dorothy Day called herself a Catholic anarchist, but if you actually examine her positions she really just seems to be a theocrat. She believed in the primacy of the Church above all demands the nation-state could make.
I think that's an extremely attractive position, as a Catholic myself.
Ethan Young
Not really. Tolkien kept out of politics, for the most part -- most of what we know comes from private letters. What he really was was a nostalgist. He wanted to go back to the never-happened times of good kings and simple folk.

>Does anarcho-Catholicism exist?
Anarchy in the Church is called protestantism.
>Current anarchism just stands for lack of state.
Like the Papal States and Vatican City? Theocracy is not anarchy.
>Could you elaborate?
All we have is in Letter 52 to his son Christopher:
>My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs)—or to 'unconstitutional' Monarchy."
Given how confused are his views, I would think political philosophy is not his proficiency, he should probably leave this King of Anarchy back to the wizard's tower where he picked the idea up, and stick to writing his elven genealogies.
These.

I kind of like that. Did she develop anything about it?

There's a bit about it in this Wiki entry on the movement she founded: en.wikipedia.org
Charles Flores
Is the pope an anarchist?
Isaiah Mitchell
thx lads
Joseph Jackson
Dorothy Day
Xavier Nelson
All you need to know is that one line by Jesus about giving Caesar what's coming to him...

Don't know it is worth.
I think Maurice G. Dantec used to describe himself as catholic and right wing anarchist.
Levi Gonzalez
That lesson from Christ is actually a trick answer. You fell for it.
Nolan Perez
ALL THESE FUCKING TERRIBLE POSTS.
Hudson Russell
I'm partial towards Distributism, but that's not really an anarchist ideology. It's super-Catholic though
Asher Mitchell
>Catholic
Daniel Nguyen
Stop shopping for ideologies on wikipedia
Brayden Perez
Closest would be the Chesterbelloc, which isn't truly anarcho. Produon was a frog so maybe he was influenced by Catholic Social Teaching but odds are he was anti-clerical
Grayson Cooper
Sometimes I wonder if these typos are deliberate.
Julian Reyes
No. Hierarchy and structure are extremely important to its claims.
Tolstoy wasn't actually a Christian. As in he denied the divinity of Christ.
Nope, just a marxist.
Pacifism as a position of absolute aversion to all military conflict is directly opposed to the Catholic doctrine of just war.
Chesterbelloc was just a position that advocated for guilds and agrarian based economy.
Brandon Hernandez
>Anarchy in the Church is called protestantism.
This. Positions that deviate from Church teachings have a name, and it's "heresy."
The Church likes to stay in the middle. She doesn't approve of either anarchism or totalitarianism.
