Politics, Law and the Church: An Examination of the Relationship Between Catholicism and American Law

Politics, Law and the Church examines the proper relationship between one's faith and politics. This involves issues of religious freedom, conscience, obedience to authority, political compromise, and other matters which touch upon the core convictions of any society. Gregory M. Faulhaber examines these issues through the exchange between Mario M. Cuomo, former Governor of New York State, and John J. O'Connor, Cardinal Archbishop of New York.
