Anarchy is the belief that the state in all its forms should be abolished (by rebellion or other means) and replaced entirely by groups that freely associate with each other. What doctrines or disciplines would prevent a faithful Catholic from believing in anarchy? Does the Church teach the necessity of the state? Jesus says to pay taxes to rulers and Paul says to respect them but there is no mention on their necessity.
