Saving Grace Or Saving Face: The Roman Catholic Church And Human Rights, John A. Onorato

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

The first part of this Comment examines the structure and organization of the Roman Catholic Church, the means of papal diplomacy, and the Vatican's participation in international organizations. Special attention is focused on the Code of Canon Law, the Lateran Agreements, and other important documents. The second part of this Comment examines the role the Church plays as a protector of human rights. This focuses on the Church's actions and recent history in two nations, Chile and Poland, and examines the effects of papal visits to these countries and the publication of papal encyclicals dealing with human rights.

Church And State In The States, G. Alan Tarr

Washington Law Review

In many state constitutions, the provisions dealing with the relationship of church and state differ substantially from the federal establishment clause. In this Article, Professor Tarr demonstrates that relying on the state constitutional guarantees may lead to markedly different results than would obtain under the first amendment. He argues that state constitutional provisions very often are ignored, apparently because practitioners mistakenly believe that state provisions merely repeat the strictures of the first amendment. Professor Tarr maintains that this is unfortunate and untrue, because our constitutional system allows a state constitution to provide for less, equal, or greater separation of church …

The Problem Of Dirty Hands, Leslie C. Griffin

Scholarly Works

This essay examines what Sartre called the problem of "dirty hands" as it applies to two issues in contemporary Catholic discussions of political morality. Beginning with Michael Walzer's work on dirty hands, the essay next identifies four approaches to this problem characteristic of Christian ethics. These four categories are then applied to analysis of two issues: conflicts of conscience that may confront Catholic politicians as a result of the responsibilities of public office and the church's exclusion of clergy and religious from holding public

Legal Affinities, Joseph Vining

Articles

Not long ago, any question of the kind "How may theology serve as a resource in understanding law?" would have been hardly conceivable among lawyers. When Lon Fuller brought out his first book in 1940, The Law in Quest of Itself, he could think of no better way of tagging his adversary the legal positivist than to note a "parallel between theoretical theology and analytical jurisprudence." Two decades later, in the name of realism, Thurman Arnold dismissed Henry Hart's non-positivist jurisprudence in harsh terms. A master of the cutting phrase, he confidently entitled his attack "Professor Hart's Theology." Two decades …

The U.S. Constitution And Religious Freedom, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

From the Article

"I shall develop two basic points in this article, composing a fuller diagnosis of that illness. The first describes the contemporary regime and its architects, the Justices of our Supreme Court. That regime and the Court are not dedicated to spiritual liberty. Its earmark is the "naked public square," one from which religious discourse has been evicted. The second contention simply describes how this represents a complete betrayal of our constitutional tradition."

Church Autonomy In The Constitutional Order - The End Of Church And State?, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

"Separation of church and state" is right up there with Mom, apple pie, and baseball in American iconography. If everyone agrees on separation of church and state, why does the relationship between religion and public life so vex, excite, and confound us? Part of the reason is that church-state separation, although it is the historical achievement of societies decisively shaped by a Christianity that was itself decisively shaped by Judaism, is a commodious concept.

But "separation of church and state" is not contentless, and our conclusive agreement on it, I submit, provides a valuable common frame of reference in an …

Toward A Universal Standard: Free Exercise And The Sanctuary Movement, Troy Harris

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note will first look at the combination of circumstances and beliefs that compel members of the Sanctuary Movement to break the law. Second, it will examine current free exercise doctrine that may provide first amendment protection to Sanctuary workers, concluding that the cases reflect two parallel, yet incompatible, rationales. Following one line of cases, Sanctuary activity should be protected; following the other line, it should be condemned. Third, this Note will resolve the inconsistency of these rationales by proposing a new universal test for free exercise claims. Fourth, it will explore the details of recent cases involving Sanctuary workers …

"Secular Humanism" And The Definition Of Religion: Extending A Modified "Ultimate Concern" Test To Mozert V. Hawkins County Public Schools And Smith V. Board Of School Commissioners, Craig A. Mason

Washington Law Review

This Comment defends an expansive definition of religion which is uniform under the establishment clause and under the free exercise clause. This Comment, to effect this expansion, constructs empirical indicators of religion for use in establishment clause cases. This proposed approach distinguishes science from values and philosophies, and only the latter two might be called "secular humanism." This distinction incorporates longstanding Supreme Court jurisprudence allowing the teaching of evolution." Expanding religious protection under the free exercise clause made a balancing approach necessary.'" Similarly, using an expansive definition of religion to broaden the scope of the establishment clause will require more …
