Positions
This catalogue answers a narrow question: what does Restore Europe hold on this issue? It does not replace the manifesto. The manifesto sets out the worldview; this sets out searchable, topic-by-topic positions.
Where Catholic moral teaching is clear, Restore Europe generally adopts it as the moral baseline, and states civil-law implementation separately. One departure is recorded explicitly: on capital punishment Restore Europe takes the older traditional allowance for exceptional cases rather than the contemporary abolitionist position.
The catalogue distinguishes the constitutional order Restore Europe 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. Where that is so, the entry says it.
Version 0.2 settles the questions version 0.1 had left open: the European institutional relationship, asylum, deportation, wages, taxation, pensions, housing, labour representation, digital identity and currency, biometric surveillance, genetic engineering, sentencing, the energy mix and every standing question of foreign policy. Where a v0.2 formulation revised an earlier entry, the newer text governs.
Every question in this catalogue carries a position. Entries marked Derived follow the direction of the manifesto without their implementation being fixed, and several name the legal or treaty change they would require. Positions are revised as the movement decides; the version and date above say which text you are reading.
9 of 89 positions match.
I
The place of religion in public life, and the moral questions law cannot avoid.
Restore Europe supports formal constitutional recognition of Catholicism as the principal public religion, and rejects the claim that the state can be morally or religiously neutral.
Restore Europe holds that human life must be protected from conception, and that elective direct abortion should be prohibited.
Restore Europe opposes artificial contraception and rejects a public culture that treats permanent avoidance of fertility as the normal foundation of sexual life, without criminalizing private adult possession.
IV
Ownership, enterprise, credit and the dignity of labour.
Workers may organize independently, while labour relations should move toward a corporatist system of permanent sectoral institutions representing workers, employers and professions.
V
What may be built, what should be deployed, and what must remain within reach.
Therapeutic genetic medicine may be legitimate, while heritable enhancement and the instrumentalization of embryonic human life face a strong prohibition.
VI
What is transmitted to the next generation, and who decides it.
Homeschooling should be legal and protected, because parents are the primary educators of their children.
State schools should have a Christian civilizational orientation rather than a secularist one.
VII
Authority, its limits, and the treatment of those who break the law.
The death penalty may be legally available, but not mandatory, for the most aggravated forms of rape and child sexual abuse.
X
Strategic independence, and a standing presumption against unnecessary war.
Restore Europe supports verifiable multilateral reduction and eventual abolition of nuclear weapons.
