 as powers from the public sphere 'in which the interests of all men as a social group are expressed. - Quote by Gustavo Gutiérrez)

Since the Enlightenment, the political order is an order of freedom. The political structures are no longer given, previous to man’s freedom, but are rather realities based on freedom, taken on and modified by man. . . . This new definition of politics carefully distinguishes between state and society. The distinction . . . allows us to differentiate between the public sphere of the state of the Church (or the combination of them) as powers from the public sphere ‘in which the interests of all men as a social group are expressed.
