The Relationship Between State Power and the Common Good

I wonder if it would be at all productive to say to the legislature who proposes such a thing, you actually don't have the authority to do this that this this because it does seem that in the modern period, the there's this sense that the state has the authority. I think when you come to a good understanding of that, then you can see how it is that the sacred authority of the priest or of the pastor are also involved here. And again, political authorities by and large have been willing to recognize the legitimate kind of exercise of sacred authority of ministers over congregations.
