'''Luceism''' is a Catholic-exclusive traditionalist ideology combining [[Distributism]], [[Catholic integralism]], and communitarian principles. It emphasizes the centrality of the [[Catholic Church]], family, and moral order, while rejecting secular liberalism, socialism, and globalism.


## Etymology
== Political Compass Placement ==
The term *Luceism* derives from the Latin word *lux* ("light"), symbolizing guidance, divine truth, and moral illumination. Its adherents describe it as living “in the light of truth and faith.”
* **Economic:** [[Distributism|Distributist]] – Property widely distributed; local economies prioritized; anti-monopoly. 
* **Social:** [[Authoritarianism|Authoritarian]] – Catholic moral law governs public institutions; society ordered to divine truth.
* **Nationalism:** Moderate – Nations respected as communities of families, but subordinated to Catholic universalism.
* **Overall Placement:** Right-Authoritarian / Traditionalist


---
== Core Principles ==
* Faith in the [[Catholic Church]] as the source of truth and moral law. 
* Governance aligned with Catholic teaching (Catholic Integralism). 
* Subsidiarity: authority flows from families and communities upward. 
* Justice through distributive ownership, economic fairness, and protection of the family. 
* Tradition preserved as a living inheritance of Catholic culture and moral wisdom. 


## Principles
== Catechism ==
Luceism is structured around five Catholic “Lights”:
=== What is Luceism? ===
A Catholic philosophy of living in the Light of Truth and Faith, rooted in family, justice, and tradition.


1. **The Light of Faith** – Only the Catholic Faith fully reveals divine truth and provides the moral foundation for society. 
=== Why not democracy? ===
2. **The Light of Order** – Political authority is legitimate only when aligned with God and Catholic teaching. 
Democracy without virtue risks mob rule; authority must follow divine law.
3. **The Light of Justice** – Economic systems must protect human dignity, the family, and widely distributed property. 
4. **The Light of Tradition** – Cultural and social institutions must preserve Catholic wisdom and practice. 
5. **The Light of the Common Good** – Society exists as a communion ordered to God, not merely as a collection of individuals.


---
=== Why not globalism? ===
Globalism erases identity, undermines local economies, and promotes secular relativism.


## Political Philosophy
=== Why not socialism? ===
Luceism is skeptical of modern liberal democracy and secular governance. Instead, it advocates:
Socialism enslaves man to the state, violates property rights, and undermines the family.


- **Catholic Integralism:** All public law, education, and governance must recognize and reflect Catholic teaching. 
=== Why not capitalism? ===
- **Subsidiarity:** Power is exercised first at the family, parish, and community levels, with higher authority safeguarding justice in accordance with divine law. 
Capitalism reduces life to profit, concentrating wealth and ignoring moral obligations; distributive ownership is preferred.
- **Communitarian Order:** Governance balances freedom with duty, and authority with service to God and the common good.


---
=== Why is tradition important? ===
Tradition preserves Catholic wisdom and social order.


## Economic Thought
=== Why must faith guide society? ===
Luceist economics draws from Catholic Social Teaching:
Without Catholic faith, society falls into relativism, corruption, and moral decay.


- Supports **widespread property ownership** by families and local communities. 
=== Can non-Catholics participate? ===
- Rejects both unrestrained capitalism and state socialism when they violate Catholic principles. 
They may live peacefully under Catholic order, but all public institutions, laws, and education must reflect Catholic teaching.
- Encourages **small businesses, guilds, and cooperatives** as morally sound economic structures. 
- Views work as a vocation, not merely a source of profit, and condemns exploitation, monopolies, and usury.


---
== Cultural and Economic Views ==
* Culture must be Catholic, reflecting truth, beauty, and moral order. 
* Art, education, and social institutions preserve and transmit Catholic tradition. 
* Economy supports family ownership, small businesses, and cooperatives.


## Cultural Views
== See Also ==
- Only **Catholic culture, education, and traditions** are recognized as legitimate. 
* [[Catholic integralism]]
- Art, literature, and music should reflect divine truth and elevate the human soul. 
* [[Distributism]]
- Traditions must be preserved through faith, passing Catholic moral wisdom from generation to generation. 
* [[Traditionalism]]
* [[Subsidiarity]]
