Prayer Amendment: A Justification, Charles E. Rice
Prayer Amendment: A Justification, Charles E. Rice
Journal Articles
It is customary for each house of Congress to open its daily sessions with prayer delivered by its Chaplain. One might conclude that if the lawmakers of the nation are entitled to ask for divine blessing upon their work, so are the rest of us, including school children. Not so. For the Supreme Court of the United States has drawn the line. Legislators may pray, so far at least, but school children may not. Thus it was that the courts intervened to prevent the holding of "a period for the free exercise of religion" in the Netcong, New Jersey, public …

The Principle Of Nondivisiveness And The Constitutionality Of Public Aid To Parochial Schools, C. Ronald Ellington
Scholarly Works
The establishment clause issues in the three cases now before the Supreme Court [Tilton v. Richardson, Lemon v. Kurtzman, DiCenso v. Robinison] will be explored in this article in the light of a postulate and three derivative maxims which, it is suggested, are implicit in the Court's earlier religion clause cases, particularly Walz v. Tax Commission. It is the author's view that the establishment clause intends that government no be a divisive force in matters of religion and that analysis grounded in such a premise provides the surest delineation of the interests at stake in …

The Last Days Of Erastianism: Forms In The American Church-State Nexus, Robert E. Rodes
The Last Days Of Erastianism: Forms In The American Church-State Nexus, Robert E. Rodes
Journal Articles
In the long history of Christendom, an Erastian view of the relation between Church and State has existed in tension with a High Church view. This paper explores the current state of our current shopworn Erastian-like church-state nexus and considers what forces may bring a more relevant and effective institutional High Church witness into being. The fact that the United States has an Erastian-like church-state relation is borne out in a line of cases involving the judicial resolution of intra-church disputes and the effect to be given the mandates of ecclesiastical authority. It is also borne out in legislative and …
Religious Freedom And The Church-State Relationship In Maryland, Kenneth Lasson
Religious Freedom And The Church-State Relationship In Maryland, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
Maryland holds the unique and admirable distinction of having been the State whose early history most directly ensured, and whose citizenry was most directly affected by, the first amendment's grant of religious liberty. The Supreme Court's docket is still liberally sprinkled with petitions calling for renewed interpretation of the establishment clause, and Marylanders will soon vote upon a proposed new state constitution with a similar provision - hence, the opportuneness for tracing Maryland's contribution to the cause of toleration and to the principle of church-state separation.
The scope of this article will not extend beyond a sketch of the important …

The New York State Constitution And Aid To Church-Related Schools, Charles E. Rice
The New York State Constitution And Aid To Church-Related Schools, Charles E. Rice
Journal Articles
In summary, it is fair to say that to regard the rule of the Judd case as retaining its original vitality would be to lend undue credence to an erroneous construction of the 1938 amendment to Section 3 of Article XI of the New York State Constitution. For, although that amendment provided only for transportation of pupils, it should be construed in its true light as a reaction to the Judd decision which called it forth. As such it specifically validated only the provision of transportation which the legislature had enacted in 1936 and which the Judd Court had nullified. …
A Suggestion For The Renewal Of The Canon Law, Robert E. Rodes
A Suggestion For The Renewal Of The Canon Law, Robert E. Rodes
Journal Articles
Among the recommendations adopted by the Canon Law Society of America at its last annual meeting was one for bringing the insights of legal traditions besides the Roman to bear on the canonical system. The following suggestions are derived from the insights of my tradition, the common law tradition. That aspect of the common law tradition that I believe has most to contribute to the development of the canon law is concerned not so much with the particular rules of law as with the basic techniques of legal analysis. The common law tradition of legal analysis, as it has been …
The Meaning Of "Religion" In The School Prayer Cases, Charles E. Rice
The Meaning Of "Religion" In The School Prayer Cases, Charles E. Rice
Journal Articles
It is not my purpose here to discuss the possible extensions of the school prayer decisions. Rather, I am concerned only with the thought that the unqualified incorporation of the broad definition of religion into the establishment clause is perhaps the root fallacy in the Court's reasoning. In order to avoid an institutionalization of agnosticism as the official public religion of this country, the Court ought to acknowledge that nontheistic religions are not entitled to such unqualified recognition under the establishment clause as to bar even a simple governmental affirmation that in fact the Declaration of Independence is true when …
Let Us Pray - An Amendment To The Constitution, Charles E. Rice
Let Us Pray - An Amendment To The Constitution, Charles E. Rice
Journal Articles
The catholic, and especially the Catholic lawyer, ought to consider the school prayer matter in several aspects. One aspect is the problem of constitutionality. Another is the question of the practical benefit to be derived from the institutionalization of governmentally-sponsored religious observances. And a third is the problem of whether the long-term interest of the Church will be served by an amendment to overrule the United States Supreme Court's decisions. It will be profitable here to discuss the problems of constitutionality and practical benefit before proceeding to an inquiry as to whether the Catholic opponents of an amendment are, perhaps …
Federal Aid To Religious Schools - Introductory Note, Joseph O'Meara
Federal Aid To Religious Schools - Introductory Note, Joseph O'Meara
Journal Articles
The American people are confronted by a crisis of constitutional interpretation and educational policy, stemming from the Bishops' program for federal aid to parochial schools. As was to be expected, there has been much partisan clamor on both sides of the school-aid question but far too little rational discourse. That deficiency would be corrected if there were wide response to Monsignor Hochwalt's invitation: " . . . we'd like that whole question of whether we should or we shouldn't [receive financial aid from the federal government] and the constitutionality and desirability and all the rest of it to be discussed …
Religious Education And The Historical Method Of Constitution Interpretation - A Review Article, Robert E. Rodes
Religious Education And The Historical Method Of Constitution Interpretation - A Review Article, Robert E. Rodes
Journal Articles
Confusion Twice Confounded is sufficiently typical of a growing body of literature to warrant more extensive treatment than is usually accorded in a book review. It analyzes at great length the opinions in the Everson and McCollum cases and criticizes them in the light of the historical background of the First Amendment. Everson, it will be recalled, derived from the Founding Fathers the doctrine that the Constitution required a "wall of separation between church and state," which was not breached by public payment of transportation to and from parochial schools. McCollum used the test laid down in Everson to invalidate …

Judicial Doctrines of Religious Rights in America, By William George Torpey. — This one volume compendium of court decisions in matters relating to religious belief will be a valuable asset to any library. The fact that the author is not a lawyer does not decrease its value to members of the legal profession, but it does emphasize the possibility and desirability for the extension of wide and exact knowledge on this important subject to all intelligent people. Dr. Torpey's treatment is objective. His purpose, as he states it, is "to examine concrete situations in which the question of religious liberty …
Church, The State, And Mrs. Mccollum, Clarence Emmett Manion
Church, The State, And Mrs. Mccollum, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
On March 8, 1948 the Supreme Court of the United States decided in substance that this language prohibits the tax-supported city school systems of the State of Illinois from assisting and encouraging general religious instruction. Just how a constitutional restriction against specified congressional action can possibly impede the activity of a local Illinois school board is an inglorious mystery of modern constitutional construction.
In one way or another however, and for one reason or many, the Court decided eight to one that when the First Amendment says "Congress" it means, among other things, a local school board and when it …
Have We Lost The Ball?, Clarence Emmett Manion
Have We Lost The Ball?, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
Americans are devoted to a wide variety of ball games. In every season of the year millions of us are continually congregating to observe the swift, skillfully directed flight of baseballs, footballs, basket balls and golf balls. In all of these contests and exhibitions the existence, nature and condition of the involved ball 'has become a remote secondary consideration. The ball is taken for granted. We are concerned exclusively with the skill and coordination of the players and their intelligent observance of the rules. Nevertheless, in all of these games it must be admitted that "the ball" is the thing …
Excusing Of Public School Pupils For Religious Instruction, Thomas F. Broden
Excusing Of Public School Pupils For Religious Instruction, Thomas F. Broden
Journal Articles
The separation of Church and State, according to the precepts of the American form of constitutional government, imposes no duty on the public school system to erect a barrier of hostility and antagonism against religion or the churches. Accordingly, a regulation of the Board of Education excusing the weekly absences of pupils for the purpose of receiving religious instruction does not, it was held in People ex rel. Latimer et al. v. Board of Education of City of Chicago, do violence to the compulsory attendance law and is a reasonable rule for the practical administration of the public schools.

Religion And American Law, Clarence Emmett Manion
Religion And American Law, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
This article discusses the relationship of law and religion in American culture. It constructs a theory of "American Faith", a theory that underlies all of American jurisprudence. This theory includes the propositions that there is a God, that all men are equal in God's sight even if not in front of mortal men, and that the American Revolution was a "revolution of believers." It concludes that religious liberty is our one and only true freedom and by holding onto it we can support human rights and freedom.

Determinable Fees, Effect Of Failure In Deed To Provide For Forfeiture Or Reversion, Joseph O'Meara

The case of In re Matter of Copps Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church appears to establish that there is no longer any such thing as a determinable interest in land in Ohio. There would seem to be no escape from this unless the court should be prepared to overrule itself.

Man is a religious being. To him, everywhere and always, religion and religious institutions have been and will be of prime concern. He is also a social being. As such he has always found it necessary to live in an organized society, under some form of government. Man never has lived to himself alone. Government is not an invention, a necessary evil, to which men submit. On the contrary, from the most primitive beginnings it has been man's natural though imperfect instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence. And universally this government has …

Government is not an invention, not a necessary evil to which men submit. On the contrary... it has been man's natural instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence ... [a]nd universally this government has been more or less closely related to religious institutions."

Man is a religious being. To him, everywhere and always, religion and religious institutions have been and will be of prime concern. Now, and in this United States, not less than in ages past and in other parts of the world, is this a fundamental fact. He who, without a recognition of this, would study either religion or government, would quite fail to comprehend his problem. Man is also a social being. As such he has always found it necessary to live in an organized society, under some form of government. The world depicted with such irresistible genius by Rosseau …

Two Recent Decisions Preventing The Presbyterian Reunion, James H. Brewster

When, a few years since, the General Assemblies of The Cumberland Presbyterian Church and The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America determined that there should be a re-union of the two bodies there were, of course, many objectors. Disputes concerning property have brought the objectors to the re-union before the courts, and in Missouri and Tennessee they have recently obtained victories.

The Courts Of Judea, Jerome C. Knowlton

The study of Jewish jurisprudence has become interesting during the past ten years through the efforts of some painstaking scholars, who have not been burdened with any particular dogma, but have been actuated by a true Christian spirit. They have been close students of those portions of the Talmud which throw light on the jurisprudence of the Jews.
