L'église catholique face aux états

Résumé
--
It happens sometimes that the Holy See makes international law treaties with States (concordats, conventions, agreements, modus vivendi). This investigation reaches from the most ancient concordats in force (1801) to the last one signed in 2010 a period spanning three periods corresponding to three doctrines governing relations between the Catholic Church and States: that of juridictionalism, that of two perfect societies and that of common law and religious freedom. The defence of the 'freedom of the Church' in relation to the State and other social institutions is the guiding wire running through these three periods. The result is a remarkable continuity in the self-comprehension of the Catholic Church in relation to States each State demanding that its own internal order be respected. This continuity is also present in the Church's awareness of its identity in its relations with political and juridical systems very rarely does a partner State succeed in imposing compromises to its self-definition as a sovereign society in its own domain. The notion of sovereignty, one that often appears in concordats of the third period, is the most exact definition of the two parties. Central to the doctrine of two perfect societies, it is in keeping with the lawful State which recognizes citizens' choices in matters of religion as being beyond its domain of competence. What is most striking is the multiplication of concordats from the 1980s onward they now concern many States which have only a small population of Catholics. The history of concordats illustrates the dualism of powers which has forged the Western world since the well-known declaration of Pope Gelasius in 496. Monistic ways are not congenial to freedom the dualist solution provides for its affirmation. Without the counterbalance of spiritual competence, temporal powers always have a tendency to invade all existence, and vice versa. In their face-to-face encounter, spiritual and State authorities mutually guarantee the citizen's civic and religious freedom. In this book, which presents the experience of many nations, readers will be interested to discover that State secularity is perfectly compatible with the practice of concordats and does nothing to promote enclosed communities.
