The church and the liberal society

The body of this book is concerned with the three-centuries-long fight between Liberalism and its arch-foe, the Catholic Church. Even in its heyday as a creed. Liberalism's self-destructive tendency was unmistakable, and it was to this suicidal capacity that the Church pointed countless times in the course of controversy. In the perspective of the possible intimate link tween Liberalism and Dictatorship, the role of the Church as defender of basic freedom is brought into clearer focus.
