Roman Catholicism and Political Form
by Carl Schmitt
While exploring the meaning of political theology in 1920s Germany, Carl Schmitt had occasion to address the relationship between the Catholic Church and the modern world. The provocative result, Roman Catholicism and Political Form, proposes the Catholic religion as a model of political authority that might replace the state. As a scathing critique of liberalism, materialism, and Weber’s vision of protestant modernity, this volume will enrich the library of anyone studying the intersection between politics and religious thought.
“Perhaps no thinker in the last one hundred years has so relentlessly and so perspicaciously interrogated the categorical quandaries and social contradictions of liberal political theory and practice. . . . In Roman Catholicism and Political Form, Schmitt, himself, begins to blueprint a truly political agenda by promoting Catholicism as friend and Russia as enemy.”—Political Theory and Political Theology
