Nowhere has the relationship between state and church been more volatile in recent decades than in Latin America. Anthony Gill's controversial book not only explains why Catholic leaders in some countries came to oppose dictatorial rule but, equally important, why many did not. Using historical and statistical evidence from twelve countries, Gill for the first time uncovers the causal connection between religious competition and the rise of progressive Catholicism. In places where evangelical Protestantism and "spiritist" sects made inroads among poor Catholics, Church leaders championed the rights of the poor and turned against authoritarian regimes to retain parishioners. Where competition was minimal, bishops maintained good relations with military rulers. Applying economic reasoning to an entirely new setting, Rendering unto Caesar offers a new theory of religious competition that dramatically revises our understanding of church-state relations.

The fundamental purpose of this volume is to consider the Latin American "Right" and the movement within that region toward democracy. It asks the basic questions that the "Right" must itself ask: What are the essential characteristics of the "Right" and how can the "Right" move into democratic processes? Can the "Right" build the necessary coalitions? Has it a valuable perspective to bring to governance and economic planning? With detailed attention to the lessons that individual countries offer because of their special problems moving toward democracy, this book provides a review of the past and current state of evolving democracy in Latin America.
