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.

I

Constitutional, Religious and Moral Order

The place of religion in public life, and the moral questions law cannot avoid.

  • Agreed PolicyConstitutional, Religious and Moral Order

    Prostitution

    Restore Europe supports the complete legal prohibition of prostitution and its commercial facilitation, with exit support for those leaving it.

II

Family, Demography and Social Order

The household as the first institution, and what public policy owes it.

  • Agreed PolicyFamily, Demography and Social Order

    Sunday Rest and Trading

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

  • Agreed PolicyFamily, Demography and Social Order

    Welfare and Social Assistance

    A safety net directed primarily at citizens, families and those genuinely unable to support themselves, expressing solidarity without becoming permanent avoidable dependency.

III

Nation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

Membership of a political community, and the European order between nations.

  • Agreed PolicyNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    Asylum, Work and Public Assistance

    Protection should facilitate self-sufficiency rather than permanent welfare dependency.

  • Agreed PolicyNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    Citizenship by Descent and Restoration

    Documented national descent may justify a substantially faster restoration route than ordinary naturalization.

  • Agreed PolicyNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    Dual Citizenship

    Dual citizenship between European countries is generally accepted; non-European citizens naturalizing into a European nation would be expected to renounce their former citizenship.

  • Agreed PolicyNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    European Union: Institutional Relationship

    Restore Europe supports fundamental reform of the European Union into a limited framework for cooperation among sovereign European nations, with most political powers returned to the member states.

IV

Economy, Property, Finance and Work

Ownership, enterprise, credit and the dignity of labour.

  • Manifesto CoreEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Economic Order

    Restore Europe rejects both unrestricted capitalism and centralized socialism. Its economic ideal is distributist in ownership and corporatist in organization.

  • Manifesto CoreEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Private Property and Broad Ownership

    Property is a source of independence and responsibility. The answer to concentration is wider ownership, not the abolition of property.

  • Manifesto CoreEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Corporations and Monopolies

    Corporations are legitimate instruments but remain subordinate to the common good, and concentrated corporate power may be restrained.

  • Manifesto CoreEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Guilds, Chambers and Corporatist Representation

    Workers, employers, craftsmen, farmers and professions should participate in sectoral institutions setting standards, apprenticeships and labour conditions.

  • Agreed PolicyEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Finance, Lending and Usury

    Finance should serve productive activity. Legitimate lending and reasonable return are accepted; exploitative interest and debt traps are not.

  • Manifesto CoreEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Housing and Financialization

    Housing should principally serve habitation and community rather than function as an endlessly appreciating financial asset.

  • Manifesto CoreEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    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.

  • Agreed PolicyEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Minimum Wage and the Just Wage

    Every worker is entitled to a just wage sufficient for a dignified life and the reasonable support of a family.

  • DerivedEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Taxation

    Taxation is legitimate for the common good but should be fair, family-sensitive, non-confiscatory and compatible with broad ownership, productive work and subsidiarity.

  • Agreed PolicyEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Pensions

    A mixed pension system should combine basic old-age security with occupational provision, personal savings, family property and intergenerational responsibility.

  • DerivedEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Detailed Housing Restrictions

    Housing should principally serve habitation and community, with policy aimed at widespread family ownership rather than permanent financial extraction.

  • Agreed PolicyEconomy, Property, Finance and Work

    Trade Unions, Guilds and Vocational Representation

    Workers may organize independently, while labour relations should move toward a corporatist system of permanent sectoral institutions representing workers, employers and professions.

V

Technology, AI and Human-Scale Life

What may be built, what should be deployed, and what must remain within reach.

  • Manifesto CoreTechnology, AI and Human-Scale Life

    Technology: General Doctrine

    Technological development is not synonymous with human progress, and should be judged by its effects on autonomy, family, community and work.

  • Manifesto Core / DerivedTechnology, AI and Human-Scale Life

    Children and Social Media

    Children should receive strong legal protection from social-media systems designed to maximize compulsive attention and psychological dependence.

  • DerivedTechnology, AI and Human-Scale Life

    Transhumanism and Human Enhancement

    Medicine may heal and restore, but human beings should not be treated as raw material for technological optimization or replacement.

VII

Government, Justice and Public Order

Authority, its limits, and the treatment of those who break the law.

  • Agreed PolicyGovernment, Justice and Public Order

    Prisons, Punishment and Rehabilitation

    Proportionate punishment, protection of society, restitution where possible, and serious rehabilitation aimed at repentance and reintegration.

X

Foreign Policy and Defense

Strategic independence, and a standing presumption against unnecessary war.

  • Agreed PolicyForeign Policy and Defense

    Sanctions

    Economic sanctions are exceptional instruments for exceptionally grave cases, not routine tools of ideological alignment.

  • Agreed PolicyForeign Policy and Defense

    Nuclear Weapons

    Restore Europe supports verifiable multilateral reduction and eventual abolition of nuclear weapons.
