What is Law and Morals about?

123, [1] pages ; 21 cm The relationship of law to morals is indissolubly connected with that existing between religion and the law. Both religion and law foster moral codes, the former under the authority of God and the latter under the authority of the State. The law and religion do not always agree on what is and what is not moral. Largely for this reason history has witnessed the separation of Church and State. Emphasizing this Church-State dichotomy, the author provides a penetrating analysis of the Catholic attitude on moral questions as opposed to the attitude of the law. His work presents a fine balance between factual and statistical data, between Christian opinion and moral principles and between the theological and legal sides of the question Includes bibliographical references (page 124) 1. Religion, law and liberty -- Law and morals -- Capital punishment, suicide and euthanasia -- Birth control -- Artificial human insemination -- Sterilization -- Homosexuality
