2. On May 11, 2018, The Pope approved a revision of the so-called Catechism of The Catholic Church; according to the new version of that document, "the Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”"
See The Holy See Press Office Daily Bulletin item "Nuova redazione del n. 2267 del Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica sulla pena di morte – Rescriptum “ex Audentia SS.mi”, 02.08.2018":
http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2018/08/02/0556/01209.html
(An English translation of that item is also available on its own here, with the title "New revision of number 2267 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the death penalty – Rescriptum “ex Audentia SS.mi”, 02.08.2018":

The Rev. Fr. John T. Zuhlsdorf gives, in his August 3, 2018 blog post "“HEY! Wait for me!” Latin of change to CCC 2267 about capital punishment now available.", an English translation of that Daily Bulletin item's Latin translation of the revision, side-by-side with three official versions (namely, the Italian, English, and Latin versions) of that revision:
http://wdtprs.com/blog/2018/08/hey-wait-for-me-latin-of-change-to-ccc-2267-about-capital-punishment-now-available/
And The Rev. Fr. George Welzbacher offers, in his January 3, 2019 article "The Revised Catechism Section 2267 . . . What The Latin Text Actually Says" (ellipsis symbol in the original) at The Wanderer's website, an alternative English translation of the official Latin version and maintains that that Latin version is consistent with the Church's Traditional teaching:
http://thewandererpress.com/catholic/news/frontpage/the-revised-catechism-section-2267-what-the-latin-text-actually-says/
The problem is that such consistency can only be obtained at the expense of consistency with H.H. The Pope's intended meaning of the relevant portion of the Address which the Catechism now quotes. (See the third of the following bullet points for more on that Address.) In other words, were Fr. Welzbacher correct, the official Latin of the Papal quotation in the Catechism revision would be a mistranslation.

3. Some recent articles, and one older one, concerning integralism:
4. Political philosophy's designation and delegation theories among non-Catholics
(For a summary of the basic differences between the designation theory of the acquisition of political authority and its rival, the delegation theory, see item 2 of this issue of my "Notes":
http://cardinalpole.blogspot.com/2016/03/notes-friday-january-1-monday-march-28.html)
4.1 Among Anglicans: "That sublime Power therefore which resides in earthly Potentates, is not a Derivation, or Collection of humane power scattered among many, and gathered into one head; but a participation of God's own Omnipotency, which he never did communicate to any multitudes of men in the world, but, only, and immediately, to his own Vicegerents. And, that is his meaning when he saith, By me Kings reign; Kings they are, by my immediate constitution; and by me also, do they Rule, and exercise their so high and large Authority."
The quotation, with its original italics but with centrescript letters referring to sidenotes omitted, words spanning two lines reunited, and spelling and punctuation modernised by me, in that headline comes from p. 11 (p. 13 in the document reader) of Religion and Alegiance (sic) by Roger Maynwaring (though there are numerous possible variant spellings of his surname: Maynvvaring, Maynuuaring, Manwaring, Mainwaring, &c.), printed by I. H. for Richard Badger, London, 1627, downloaded from The British Library's website:

As is well known, there were many contemporaneous Anglicans belonging to Manwaring's school of thought; Algernon Sidney (himself, of course, not among them) listed the main ones (minus Hobbes, plus the Stuart kings): "Laud, Manwaring, Sibthorp, Hobbs, Filmer, and Heylin"(http://downloads.it.ox.ac.uk/ota-public/tcp/Texts-HTML/free/A60/A60214.html)

4.2 The delegation theory in the Russian Orthodox sect? "On behalf of the Episcopal Council of the Russian Orthodox Church I would like to wish you, much-esteemed Vladimir Vladimirovich, long years of life, good health and God’s aid in the lofty mission the Lord has entrusted to you through the will of the people. This is how we understand that which is happening in the history of people: the free will of people is combined with Divine Providence. …"
The quotation in that headline, excluding my ellipsis, comes from what I presume is a translation of the "Speech by His Holiness Patriarch Kirill at the Meeting of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin with the Participants of the Episcopal Council of the Russian Orthodox Church" on December 1, 2017, downloaded from the website of that sect's Department for External Church Relations:

5. Mr. Tudge's latest lists of Australian values: "freedom of speech, freedom of association, equality between men and women, freedom of religion", "liberal democracy, the rule of law, equality of men and women, respect for each other", "a commitment to Australia's liberal democracy, equality between men and women, being governed by the rule of law", "freedom of speech and worship, equality between sexes, democracy and the rule of law, a fair go for all, the taking of individual responsibility"
(Unfortunately, the links in this item are now dead, but you can get some indication of the veracity of my attribution of those quotations by Googling them.) The quotations in that headline come respectively from the transcripts "Interview with Oliver Peterson, 6PR Drive", dated Wednesday, July 25, 2018:

Immediately before posting this part of this issue of "Notes", I changed the name of the "Reference links" section of this blog's sidebar to "Reference or research links" and added to it links to
Then I deleted from that sidebar links to
- Bernard Gaynor (because it is, at least for now, not being updated)
- Sentire Cum Ecclesia (because it hasn't been updated for almost two years)
- Australia Incognita (because it is now "open to invited readers only")

- The Code of Canon Law, the website of the Shop, Distributive, and Allied Employees' Association (N.S.W. Branch), Papal pronouncements, and The Sacred C.D.F.'s website (because I neither use them frequently enough nor can see any other need to keep them)
