Description: This book depicts the ambivalent character of Catholics' mainstream "arrival" in the US over the past 40 years, integrating social scientific, historical and moral accounts of persistent tensions between faith and power. Divided into four parts - Catholics Leaders in US Politics; The Catholic Public; Catholics and the Federal Government; and International Policy and the Vatican - it describes the implications of Catholic universalism for voting patterns, international policy making, and partisan alliances. The book reveals complex intersections of Catholicism and politics and the new opportunities for influence and risks of cooptation of political power produced by these shifts. Contributors include political scientists, ethicists, and theologians. The book will be of interest to scholars in political science, religious studies, and Christian ethics and all lay Catholics interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the tensions that can exist between church doctrine and partisan politics.
