In The Crisis of Religious Liberty: Reflections from Law, History,
and Catholic Social Thought, contributors consider a series of
significant challenges to the freedom of religious conscience and
expression in the United States today. Such challenges include the
mandate from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
concerning contraceptive, sterilization, and abortifacient coverage
in health insurance plans; the question of health-care institutions
requiring medical personnel to participate in morally objectionable
procedures contrary to their religious beliefs; legal liability for
individuals and businesses refusing on religious grounds to provide
services for same-sex marriages; the prohibition on students from
engaging in religious expression in public schools; the use of
zoning laws to block Bible studies in private homes; and a variety
of other issues that have surfaced in recent years with respect to
religious freedom. While some argues that religious liberty extends
no further than the freedom to worship, contributors suggest
otherwise, noting that the exercise of religious liberty is greater
than a highly restrictive definition of the notion of worship. The
Crisis of Religious Liberty comprises eight chapters and an
afterword that explore the nature and basis of religious freedom in
terms of Catholic social thought. They cover such topics as the
Catholic Church's teachings from the Vatican II's Dignatis Humanae
(Declaration on Religious Liberty), the decline of a historic
rapprochement among different religious perspectives in the United
States in the face of an increasingly aggressive secularism,
perspectives on religious liberty from the founding of America, and
how the religious liberty situation in the U.S. compares with the
rest of the world. The Crisis of Religious Liberty: Reflections
from Law, History, and Catholic Social Thought should appeal to a
variety of professionals as well as a scholars: lawyers and clergy,
health care professionals and Catholic business owners, and
researchers in the fields of religion, law, American politics, and
sociology.
