This book comprehensively explores the historical debate surrounding the role of the Church in the structuring of society, from the early ministry of priests to its role in present-day secular society. The author draws on past legislation regarding the Catholic clergy, including the failed Maurizian law influencing the Napoleonic code, as well as the successful efforts of Cavour to confiscate church property. The author argues that the state has no right to compromise the liberty of the church to call and ordain men for its service, concluding that this liberty is essential for the survival and flourishing of society as a whole.
