• What are the religious and philosophical foundations of the 'The American Experiment'?
• Is the liberal tradition (understood in the sense of democracy, human rights and the free market) a help or a hinderance to the life of the Church and evangelization?
• Is capitalism and the free market compatible with Christian morality and the social teachings of the Catholic Church?
• What is the proper role of religion in the public life of America today and how ought we to interpret the 'separation of Church and State'?
• What is the proper understanding of freedom, conscience and religious liberty in Catholic tradition?

If you find yourself interested in these kinds of questions, join the club! -- I've put together this website is a compilation of articles (those which are available online) and a directory of links to other helpful websites pertaining to this important discussion. I hope it will become a means of introducing various contributors to this discussion, and something of a resource for others who are investigating this subject.

Please note: Due to its complexity and the amount of material involved, the issue of the Catholic Church and the Just War tradition, while involving many of the same participants in the debate over the liberal tradition, is addressed by way of its own exclusive website here.
