摘要：In this article the author deals with the principle of subsidiarity that should be employed in the field of society, economy and law. The popes, starting from Pius XI in 1931 till today, demand the employment of the principle of subsidiarity with the aim of avoiding the excessive centralism and bureaucracy whether in the Church as a specific community (LG, no 8), or in the state.
