Article: A Heretical Political Theology: Carl Schmitt and the Hobbesian Concept of Representation
Published 2009 or later, but no year given: Ionut Untea (EHESS), "A Heretical Political Theology: Carl Schmitt and the Hobbesian Concept of Representation" ("The International Journal of the Humanities", 6 [12]: pp. 93-100).
Quote: "As the pope represents God, because he is infallible, the Sovereign must represent the 'people': he (or she) always knows what the people want. This is why he emphasizes the unity of the people and its substantial homogeneity. The substantial homogeneity becomes in Carl Schmitt’s view the argument for sustaining that a democracy must be opposed to the liberal ideas of universal liberty and equality."
