Abstract
This article deals with the transformation of Catholic politics in Italy between 1942 and 1945 and the emergence of Christian Democracy as the dominant political party in the postwar years. It analyzes how Catholic politicians turned from reactionary critics of democracy to its champion. The article foregrounds a dimension that has not been given sufficient attention in scholarly works on political Catholicism and Christian Democracy, namely the religious content of thought. In the experiences of politicians and thinkers living through Fascism and war, transcendence and spirituality emerged as new markers of certainty that came to re-direct and ground democracy. Our conceptual argument is that Christian Democracy can be understood as a distinct form of "political spirituality," pace Foucault. The article further shows how this political spirituality became "applied" in a series of ways in the immediate postwar period.

Federal systems are seen most frequently as relationships involving differing territorial-based government units. What has just begun to be grasped is that the arrival, interaction, conflicts, & accommodations of the various religious & ethnic groups provide an important conceptual framework for understanding the power-sharing process. Examined are these religio-ethnic changes during 1945-1976 & their impact on US political life. The central shift has been the decline in authority of older stock, white, Eastern Protestant groups. Simultaneously, Roman Catholic white ethnics, evangelical Protestants in Ru & small-town America & in the "Sunbelt States," & blacks & Jews have come forward politically & socially. What has been described in recent years as the growth of conservatism in the US can be seen, also, as a reflection of the values of several of these newly emerging groups as they seek to reshape American life according to their ethnocultural styles. The former groups have brought forward "social issues" such as opposition to abortion, the growth of crime, & the new permissiveness in morality. Jews have made their influence felt in academic & intellectual life through the arts & major periodicals. Also discussed are the election of 1976 & the role played by these ethnoreligious groups in its outcome. Books, newspapers, & magazine articles published during this period are the sources used for developing & documenting this thesis. AA.

The study of religion holds great promise for the study of identity, institutional origins, the state, and the strategies of institutional actors in comparative politics. Doctrinal differences translate into distinct patterns of state institutions, economic performance, and policy preferences. Religious attachments affect voting and popular mobilization. Churches can become powerful institutional players that lobby, influence policy, and form effective coalitions with both secular and denominational partners. Finally, natural religious monopolies and (conversely) resolutely secular countries show how churches have played a central role in the struggle of nations and states. The relationship is thus mutual: religion influences political attitudes and institutions, and politics affects religious practice and political activity. Adapted from the source document.
