Positions
Policy Catalogue
This catalogue answers a narrow question: what does Restore Europa hold on this issue? It does not replace the manifesto. The manifesto sets out the worldview; this sets out searchable, topic-by-topic positions.
Last updated .
Where Catholic moral teaching is clear, Restore Europa generally adopts it as the moral baseline, and states civil-law implementation separately. One departure is recorded explicitly: on capital punishment Restore Europa takes the older traditional allowance for exceptional cases rather than the contemporary abolitionist position.
The catalogue distinguishes the constitutional order Restore Europa seeks from European law as it currently stands. Several positions — on nationality, on deprivation of citizenship, on speech, on the public standing of religion and on capital punishment — would require constitutional or treaty change before they could be enacted in particular European states.

Work
Work has dignity but is not the purpose of human existence. Economic progress should increase security, leisure and command over one's own life.
