““When we speak of authority at present we usually have in mind governmental authority. Actually, social order is most firm when imposed and maintained by the limited authorities of family, school, church, job, neighborhood and so on. In 1848 the Spaniard Donoso-Cortés predicted that “when religious discipline ceases to exist there cannot be enough of government; all despotisms will not be sufficient.” This holds true to some extent of the other minor authorities.””
