Catholic republican cathechism
Antonio Zalivani a parish and repubblican that writeen, at 1797 a book with title Repubblican  Catechism of Citizen; we must consider that adjective repubblican was reported to a general concept and model of political state, no certainly a model reported to federalism model after American revolution. These opinions and ideas of this religious man were very revolutionary, but we must read this book with attention and we are going to find ideas that are very ancient, because democratic opinion of Zalivani are very next to democracy of Clisthenes in Areopagus of Athen, from fifht century before Christ, and  he said, fro example: “Nobody there is in sociaty that can live alone and nobody can be happy without aide with other”, this concept is took from Christian doctrine, because everybody is happy with other and everybody needs of others, in fact in Holy Bible is written: “Who mocks the poor offendes his God”  Zalivani takes examples of worker that do for other then poor needs of rich and contrary. Regard to laws he written that: “The law is outcome from universal will of people, and it want promote common good for everybody, and the laws must keep common security, the proprieties of everybody; forthemore the autority of law is kept for everybody citizen, and itisn’t privilege to somebody; so it is very revolutionary opinion, opinion that today is normal but at 1797 is was very original; but when a question if the law is has value, that answer is right, in fact he written that in a nation must be an authority that guarantees respect for law and it must punishes transgressor; but it is a concept likewise ancient, an authority that pushishes is very ancient. Then Zalivani took from Christian doctrine, in Holy Bibble “No kill an innocent and right man” Pagan areopagus, he is very next to ancient concepts and he foresees doctrine today, but these thinks are ancient and today at same time.
