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

Family, Demography and Social Order

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

  • Manifesto CoreFamily, Demography and Social Order

    Family

    The family formed around marriage is the fundamental social institution, and public policy should make marriage and child-rearing materially realistic.

  • Manifesto CoreFamily, Demography and Social Order

    Demographic Renewal

    Europe should answer demographic decline by making family formation viable for its own population rather than by permanent mass immigration.

III

Nation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

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

  • Manifesto CoreNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    Nation and Historical Continuity

    The nation is an intergenerational historical community, and European peoples have a legitimate interest in maintaining cultural and historical continuity.

  • Manifesto CoreNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    Immigration

    Immigration should be limited to levels compatible with genuine integration, social stability, infrastructure capacity and demographic continuity.

  • Manifesto CoreNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe

    Europe as a Civilization of Nations

    Europe should be a civilizational community of sovereign nations, not a centralized post-national state.

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.

  • 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.

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

    Artificial Intelligence

    AI may be used as a tool but should not displace human judgment merely because automation is technically possible or economically efficient.

  • Manifesto CoreTechnology, AI and Human-Scale Life

    Automation

    Automation may remove genuinely degrading labour, but removing human participation from productive activity is not an unquestioned good.

  • Manifesto CoreTechnology, AI and Human-Scale Life

    Cash and Non-Digital Access

    Citizens should retain meaningful access to physical money and to face-to-face public services.

  • Manifesto CoreTechnology, AI and Human-Scale Life

    Right to Repair

    Citizens should retain meaningful access to repairable products, against unnecessary disposability and technological lock-in.

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

    Surveillance

    Citizens should retain meaningful private spaces free from permanent surveillance, with the detailed rules not yet settled.

  • 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.

VI

Education, Culture and Public Life

What is transmitted to the next generation, and who decides it.

  • Manifesto CoreEducation, Culture and Public Life

    Purpose of Education

    Education should transmit civilization before attempting to transform it, with serious study of Christianity, history, classical civilization, the sciences and the arts.

  • Manifesto CoreEducation, Culture and Public Life

    Culture Against Homogenization

    Languages, dialects, festivals, music, cuisine and craftsmanship should remain living parts of ordinary life rather than museum pieces.

  • Manifesto CoreEducation, Culture and Public Life

    Architecture and Historic Preservation

    Public architecture should respect human scale, local materials and regional tradition, and historic fabric should be preserved wherever reasonably possible.

VII

Government, Justice and Public Order

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

  • Manifesto CoreGovernment, Justice and Public Order

    Authority, Democracy and Subsidiarity

    Power should be exercised at the lowest competent level. Elections, representation and constitutional limits coexist with a rejection of philosophical liberalism.

IX

Environment, Land and Settlement

Stewardship of an inheritance that was not made by us.

  • Manifesto CoreEnvironment, Land and Settlement

    Environmental Stewardship

    Nature is an inheritance entrusted to humanity rather than a commodity without limit or a divinity, and should be stewarded accordingly.

X

Foreign Policy and Defense

Strategic independence, and a standing presumption against unnecessary war.

  • Manifesto CoreForeign Policy and Defense

    Foreign Policy Doctrine

    Strategic independence rather than imperial ambition, guided by prudence, legitimate national interest and a strong presumption against unnecessary war.
