Catholics whose church had lost its national status henceforth looked to the papacy for spiritual authority. Perreau-Saussine argues that this move paradoxically combined a fundamental repudiation of the liberal political order with an implicit acknowledgment of one of its core principles\, the autonomy of the church from the state. However\, as Perreau-Saussine shows\, in the context of twentieth-century totalitarianism\, the Catholic Church retrieved elements of its Gallican heritage and came to embrace another liberal (and Gallican) principle\, the autonomy of the state from the church\, for the sake of its corollary\, freedom of religion. Perreau-Saussine concludes that Catholics came to terms with liberal democracy\, though not without abiding concerns about the potential of that system to compromise freedom of religion in the pursuit of other goals. \n\n\n\n“Many people think that the reconciliation of the Catholic Church and liberal democracy consummated at Vatican II represents a sudden shift. Perreau-Saussine shows to the contrary that it has deep roots in the history of the church\, and in particular in the Gallicanism of ancien regime France. Even Vatican I can be seen as a stage on this long march. This rich and fascinating book sheds much light on what this reconciliation means—and what it couldn’t mean.”—Charles Taylor\, professor emeritus\, McGill University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The modest title of this erudite and thoughtful book belies its actual achievement. It makes an important contribution to understanding a topic that seems likely to occupy thinking people in the West for some time to come: the general relation between politics and religion in the modern world.”—Raymond Geuss\, author of Philosophy and Real Politics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Catholicism and Democracy is a wonderfully fresh interpretation of the fascinating and tortuous path of Catholic political theology over the last two hundred years. With its strong narrative\, this original book required me to turn the historical frame upside down and look at issues in a new way.”—F. Russell Hittinger\, University of Tulsa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Catholicism and Democracy looks at some of the ironies and paradoxes inherent in the relationship of the Catholic Church to modern politics. Deftly weaving together political history and literary interpretations of that history\, Perreau-Saussine tells an important story with persuasion and brilliant insight.”—James B. Murphy\, Dartmouth College
