Religion & Law

Commenting on this piece (which will not be particularly enlightening to anyone who has followed at all the "Catholic universities" conversation) from Inside Higher Ed, Greg Baylor writes (here):

It is up to the church to decide how its universities should operate.  The secular government should not interfere.

Many ? particularly those on the secular left ? are so focused on achieving what they believe is the ?right? outcome that they have little regard for the constitutional and prudential limitations on the role of government in such situations.  They are less solicitous of ?sphere sovereignty? or ?subsidiarity? than they ought to be.  Let us hope that dissenters from Ex corde Ecclesiae are unable to invoke the power of the civil magistrate to achieve their desired results.  Genuine religious freedom demands nothing less.

Indeed.
