Edward Cahill SJ was a well-known and influential figure in Ireland
during the early decades of the new Irish state. As Professor of
Ecclesiastical History and Sociology at the Jesuit House of Studies
in Dublin, his research led him to view liberalism as the great
enemy of the faith and spiritual values of the majority of the
Irish people. He identified with liberalism the exclusion of God
from public life and a strong emphasis on secularism, and also the
excesses of laissez-faire capitalism. He sought to counter this by
teaching a Christian sociology based on the papal social
encyclicals. Cahill gathered around him a lay organisation of men
and women drawn from all walks of life, known as An Rioghacht,
which became influential in the 1930s. Mr and Mrs de Valera were
good friends of Cahill and shared many of his views. His magnum
opus, widely read at the time, was entitled The Framework of a
Christian State.
