	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Religious Life
		The religious state then is defined, as the mode of life, irrevocable in its nature of men who profess to aim at the perfection of Christian charity in the bosom of the Church by the three perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
		The essential unity of the religious life is consistent with a great variety which is one of the glories of the Church, and permits a larger number of men to find a religious profession adapted to their needs and dispositions, and multiplies the services which religious render to Christian society and mankind in general.
		Religious orders are exempt from episcopal jurisdiction, and in spite of exceptions to this privilege, created by the Council of Trent and later, the exemption remains the rule and the exception must be proved.

	Anarchism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rise of anarchism as a cohesive philosophy in the 19th century, with its notion of freedom as being based upon political, economic, and social equality, was a reaction to the rise of bureaucratic nation state and large-scale industrial capitalism.
		The word "anarchy", as most anarchists use it, does not imply chaos, nihilism, or anomie, but rather an anti-authoritarian society that is based on voluntary association of free individuals in autonomous communities operating on principles of mutual aid and self-governance.
		In the UK this was associated with the punk movement; the band Crass is celebrated for its anarchist and pacifist ideas.

	Executive Summary: 1999-2003
		Religious groups remain an exception to this pattern of “bowling alone,” that is, to the increasing privatization of American life.
		Religious congregations are not only places to worship, they are places where citizens learn civic skills, such as working together to alleviate social problems through community serving ministries.
		As we become ever more conscious of the fraying fabric of American public life, as manifested, for example, in a general lack of civility and social trust or in citizen disengagement from the institutions of government, perhaps it is time to re-examine the role religion might play in helping to rebuild a healthy public square.

	Janus Head: Links
		The Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship of a cutting-edge nature that deals broadly with the phenomenon of religion and cultural theory.
		Publishes poetry, prose, and short stories where the internal is universalized, the unconscious made conscious, and the unity of all opposites: man and woman; good and evil; creation and destruction; fl white; life and death; and body and spirit are acknowledged.
		Focuses on poetry and prose to examine the dynamic relationship between the mind and the voice; between the conscience of people and the standards of mass society; between the message of the endangered individual and the moronic giant of popular opinion.

	Anarchist Theory FAQ Version 5.2
		A law about fashions, a law about mad dogs, a law about virtue, a law to put a stop to all the vices and all the evils which result from human indolence and cowardice.
		Existing law should be replaced by sensible and communitarian customs; and the critic of anarchism underestimates the extent to which existing crime is in fact a product of the legal system's perpetuation of inequality and poverty.
		Leo Tolstoy, refer to themselves as "Christian anarchists." (Tolstoy avoided the term "anarchist," probably because of its association with violence and terrorism in the minds of contemporary Russians.) Drawing on the Gospels' themes of nonviolence and the equality of all human beings, these anarchists condemn government as contrary to Christian teaching.

	The Epoch Times \| Epoch Times Commentaries on the Communist Party — Part 6
		The Chinese Buddhists Association founded in 1952 and the Chinese Taoist Association founded in 1957 both clearly declared in their founding statements that they would be “under the leadership of the People’s government.” In reality, they would be under the leadership of the atheistic CCP.
		In the beginning, the intellectuals were not categorized as a reactionary class, but by 1957, after several major religious groups had surrendered through the “unified front” movement, the CCP could focus its energy on the intellectuals.
		The CCP promoted “struggle face-to-face and report back-to-back.” Squealing on one’s associates, creating written materials to frame them, fabricating facts and exaggerating their mistakes—these devious behaviors have been used to measure closeness to the party and the desire to advance.
