Sunday Rest and Trading
Sunday should be restored as the common day of worship, family and rest, with ordinary commercial activity substantially restricted.
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.

II
The household as the first institution, and what public policy owes it.
Sunday should be restored as the common day of worship, family and rest, with ordinary commercial activity substantially restricted.
III
Membership of a political community, and the European order between nations.
Asylum is protection from genuine persecution or serious danger, not a general mechanism for choosing a preferred country of settlement.
Protection should facilitate self-sufficiency rather than permanent welfare dependency.
A non-citizen convicted of a qualifying serious criminal offence should ordinarily lose the right to remain and receive a permanent re-entry ban.
Documented national descent may justify a substantially faster restoration route than ordinary naturalization.
Naturalized citizenship may be revoked judicially in exceptionally serious cases such as fraudulent naturalization, treason or terrorism.
IV
Ownership, enterprise, credit and the dignity of labour.
A mixed pension system should combine basic old-age security with occupational provision, personal savings, family property and intergenerational responsibility.
VIII
Access to necessary care, and the ethics practised within it.
Universal access to essential and medically necessary care, with safeguards against overuse and waste.
