Article 47 - Fascism
Canon 5720 (link)
Fascism is a term used to describe any authoritarian nationalistic political model and symbols that ultimately claim power and authority from Rome. The most common and blatant symbols of a “fascist state” are the Fasces, the Roman Salute, the Pentagram, the Roman Column, the Roman Eagle and a Republic form of government. The term Fasces (as the source of the words “fascism and fascist”) is the formal name for the ancient symbol of Roman judicial and military authority being a bundle of wooden rods/sticks and an axe, with its blade pointing outwards, bound together by leather straps:
(i) The wooden rods or vis/vires symbolized power, force, strength, quantity, standards and corporal punishment; and
(ii) The axe or securis symbolized authority and supreme power to inflict capital punishment; and
(iii) The leather straps or lorum symbolized binding duty and reigns of power, whip and lash of enforcement.

Saving these pages and came across this. Look at the Presidential Seal of the US and you'll see these sticks in the Eagle's claws. Right in front of our stupid noses.
