By What Power of the Bishop of Rome?
Rorate Caeli: False Collegiality: Full Text of new Rule demanding Bishops consult with Vatican before erecting Diocesan Institutes, and Our Comment
What does not pertain to the Church Universal? Why should a diocesan bishop have the final say over whether a woman can become a consecrated virgin? Isn't her vocation a gift to the Church Universal? Maybe some dicastry in the Roman Curia should have a voice in approving her.
Because marriage is a gift to the Church Universal...
Etc.

Do Christians have a political identity?
That is, does membership in a political community have any moral relevance?
There should be an ordering of our actions based on the good of the political community -- modern Catholic "social justice" proponents may even agree that there is an order of charity. But there will be disagreements in our judgment of particulars: what is to be considered a community, whether this group of people is a community, whether this community has the same group identity as another, and so on.
What is to be done in the absence of any real membership?
