ABSTRACT Authoritarianism and the Catholic Church in Latin America Amy Edmonds, Ph.D. Dissertation Chairperson: Jerold L. Waltman, Ph.D. This research examines the relationship between the Catholic Church and the military regimes in Latin America in the latter half of the twentieth century. Although prevailing theories explain church behavior regarding authoritarianism in reference to Protestant competition, I argue that church opposition is best explained by institutional arrangements in two ways. First, whether the church opposes authoritarianism is contingent on the degree of institutional autonomy the church possesses. Secondly, the strength of the opposition depends upon the presence of structural carriers, which are institutions connecting the church to society. The cases of Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay are examined through a historical institutionalist lens to test these hypotheses. Findings from these historical case studies indicate that both institutional autonomy and structural carriers are necessary for opposition. Ultimately, this study sheds light on the question of why religious institutions operate in varying ways in similar political contexts. It is also a contribution to the “path dependent model,” which posits that the history of institutional arrangements serves as a strong influence on contemporary institutional behavior.

First, I am indebted to the scholars who have gone before me; the works of J. Lloyd Mecham, Ivan Vallier, Brian H. Smith, and Daniel Philpott were particularly invaluable in forming my thinking as well as for the incredible amount of information they provided. Secondly, throughout my graduate career, my general interests regarding Latin America and the intersection of politics and religion have been fostered, gently pruned, and always encouraged by Dr. Victor Hinojosa, Dr. Chris Marsh, and Dr. Jerold Waltman. Dr. Waltman, as my chair, deserves extra gratitude for his availability, patience, cheerful guidance, and practical wisdom. Dr. David Clinton and Dr. Paul Froese both provided many valuable insights about ways that this project could be improved and expanded; I especially appreciate their willingness to offer their support and aid while they were on sabbatical. I would also like to express immense gratitude to Jenice Langston, whose knowledge and ability to graciously help people navigate through the bureaucratic hurdles of life is unsurpassed. Finally, I am thankful to Joseph, my partner in the pursuit of knowledge, life, and love, whose support and perseverance is a constant source of inspiration and courage. vii For my parents For all they have made me to be, And for Joseph For all we are and will be. viii CHAPTER ONE The Politics and Religion Nexus The point is that what is too easily dismissed as ‘context’ may in fact be absolutely crucial to understanding important social processes. Too often, contemporary social science simply drops out a huge range of crucial factors and processes, either because our methods and theories make it difficult to incorporate them, or because they simply lead us not to see them in the first place. –Paul Pierson 2004, 169 Within the field of political science, the influence of religion on the political sphere has been a frequently overlooked subject due to the expectation that religious influence would decline and perhaps eventually even disappear with the modernization of nation-states and with the replacement of superstition with reason and science. Religion, however, continues to be a powerful source of influence.1 Unexpected events of the 1970s and 1980s, such as the Islamic revolution in Iran, the Solidarity movement in Poland, and the emergence of Protestant fundamentalism as a political force in the United States all serve as examples of religion, ‘going public’ and confirm religion’s potentially significant effect within the political sphere (Casanova 1994, 3). Religion is influential in the arena of international politics in several ways, such as through the shaping of decisions of policymakers, and by providing a base of legitimacy from which governments can be supported or opposed (Fox 2001, 59). In general, religious institutions “are vital changing structures that project ideas and resources, thus shaping the contexts in which everyday experience is lived. They provide members with elements of identity, material services, and links to a larger universe of moral 1For more on the theory of secularization and the staying power of religion see Berger 1999, Johnston and Sampon 1994, Casanova 1994, and Haynes 1993. 1 significance that undergird perceptions, commitment, and action” (Levine and Mainwaring

  • Anarchism and Religion

    Anarchism and Religion

    Anarchism and Religion Nicolas Walter 1991 For the present purpose, anarchism is defined as the political and social ideology which argues that human groups can and should exist without instituted authority, and especially as the historical anarchist movement of the past two hundred years; and religion is defined as the belief in the existence and significance of supernatural being(s), and especially as the prevailing Judaeo-Christian systemof the past two thousand years. My subject is the question: Is there a necessary connection between the two and, if so, what is it? The possible answers are as follows: there may be no connection, if beliefs about human society and the nature of the universe are quite independent; there may be a connection, if such beliefs are interdependent; and, if there is a connection, it may be either positive, if anarchism and religion reinforce each other, or negative, if anarchism and religion contradict each other. The general assumption is that there is a negative connection logical, because divine andhuman authority reflect each other; and psychological, because the rejection of human and divine authority, of political and religious orthodoxy, reflect each other. Thus the French Encyclopdie Anarchiste (1932) included an article on Atheism by Gustave Brocher: ‘An anarchist, who wants no all-powerful master on earth, no authoritarian government, must necessarily reject the idea of an omnipotent power to whom everything must be subjected; if he is consistent, he must declare himself an atheist.’ And the centenary issue of the British anarchist paper Freedom (October 1986) contained an article by Barbara Smoker (president of the National Secular Society) entitled ‘Anarchism implies Atheism’.

OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

Today, in order of guaranteeing the freedom of belief, the Constitution of Republic of Albania expresses principles which protect the religious freedom, starting from its preamble. Indeed, the preamble has no legal force but stated goals and assists in the interpretation of provisions. The spirit, with which the preamble stated, is that of tolerance and religious coexistence, in a vision where the people are responsible for the future with faith in God or other universal values. This statement reinforces the principle of secularism of the state where the latter appears as the guarantor of religious freedom by knowing in this perspective the beliefs that "sovereign" could have and can develop.
