[Abstract tratto dalla rivista]
The article focusses on the influence of Catholicism on contemporary constitutionalism. It argues that Catholicism has played a number of roles in shaping it through its diplomacy, its culture, and its teaching. It then identifies some key aspects of contemporary constitutionalism that owe much to Catholicism: the notion of dignity, international and supranational political and legal integration, and the principle of subsidiarity. It finally considers how a secularising trend in contemporary constitutionalism has tried to distance it from its Catholic roots, which, in turn, has persuaded increasing portions of Catholics and Christians more generally that Catholicism and constitutionalism are intrinsically irreconcilable.[Abstract appeared in the Journal]
