In this thought-provoking book, John Earnshaw defends the Catholic Church's rights in the face of encroaching civil governments. He argues that the Church is a moral authority that should not be subject to secular rulers, and that Church and state should operate as separate entities. A must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between religion and politics.
