Aquinas and the State - The American Conservative

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Two recent Supreme Court cases might help to illustrate the conflict between earlier twentieth-century precedent that sought to restrict religious liberty under an ahistorical and unconstitutional "wall of separation" doctrine justified by modern liberal rationalism and the current majority's preference for religious pluralism embodied in the First Amendment.
47% : The only practical recourse for religious believers living under this threat is to uphold and protect the principle of religious liberty.
43% : The Council's declaration on religious liberty, Dignitatis Humanae, left many questions unanswered.
42% : Religious freedom is always at risk as long as rationalism is an inherent characteristic of modern liberalism.
