Catholicism and Liberalism: Contributions to American Public Policy

Cambridge Studies in Religion and American Public Life

by R. Bruce Douglass (Editor), David Hollenbach (Editor)

Liberalism and Catholicism are two of the most important forces shaping the contemporary political culture of the United States. This book explores what is at stake as they encounter each other in new contexts today and what a fresh conversation between them promises for the future of American public life. It is based on the conviction that both traditions continue to have much to learn from each other and that both would contribute more constructively to the resolution of the problems facing the nation if they were to do so.
