Church and Politics in Latin America

by Dermot Keogh (Editor)

Complex and profound changes have been taking place in the Latin American Catholic Church in the 20th century. The nature of those changes has often been both misunderstood and misrepresented. This volume is a collection of essays written by some of the most prominent scholars working in the fields of history, political science, sociology, law and theology. All the major themes involving the Church in Latin America are examined. Dermot Keigh also wrote "The Vatican, the Bishops and Irish Politics, 1919-1939", "The Rise of the Irish Working Class", "Central America - Human Rights and US Foreign Policy", "Romero - El Salvador's Martyr" and "Ireland and Europe - a Study in Diplomacy, 1919-1948"
