Conclusion.This book traces the connections between diverging postwar European integration policies and intra-Christian divisions to argue that supranational integration originates from Roman Catholic internationalism, and that resistance to integration, conversely, is based in Protestantism. Royce supports this thesis through a rigorously supported historical narrative, arguing that sixteenth-century theological conflicts generated seventeenth-century constitutional solutions, which ultimately effected the political choices both for and against integration during the twentieth century. Beginning with a survey of all ecclesiastical laws of seventeen West European countries and concluding with a full discussion of the Brexit vote and emerging alternatives to the EU, this examination of the political theology surrounding the European Union will appeal to all scholars of EU politics, modern theology, religious sociology, and contemporary European history.Palgrave Studies in Religion, Politics, and Policy,2731-6777EuropePolitics and governmentReligion and politicsRegionalismWorld politicsReligion and sociologyEuropean PoliticsPolitics and ReligionRegionalismPolitical HistorySociology of ReligionEuropePolitics and government.Religion and politics.Regionalism.World politics.Religion and sociology.European Politics.Politics and Religion.Regionalism.Political History.Sociology of Religion.320.94Royce Mark Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut895203BOOK9910255283603321The Political Theology of European Integration2000054UNINA
