Conscripti Patri or Patres conscripti
Conscripted Fathers was a Latin idiom that described the Senate of Rome and eventually the entire legislature. It was a part of the principle of the Patronus or Parens Patriae of government.
Parens Patriae [Latin, Parent of the country.] A doctrine that grants the inherent power and authority of the natural father to the state to protect persons who are legally unable to act.
The present Senate and Congress or in some countries the parliament act as the fathers of the people who have shown themselves as dependent upon the State for its benefits.
Conscripti Patri were also known as the fathers of the earth which we see mentioned by Jesus in the New Testament.
- Matthew 23:9 "And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
Understanding why Jesus said this will bring the Bible and its message into focus with modern times.
