| Summary: | Castles, Francis: On religion and public policy : does Catholicism make a difference? In: European Journal of Political Research, Dordrecht, 25 (January 1994) 1, S. 19-40 Francis Castles has dealt with the issue of whether Catholicism makes a difference. This paper provides some critical remarks and further reflections about the topic. My point is that Castles neglects the relevance of Catholic churches and welfare organizations for the development of the modern welfare state. In countries with a strong state-church-cleavage (Rokkan) this aspect is characteristic for the delivery of social services. Thus, a more political-institutional theory of religion and public policy can be reached. (European Journal of Political Research / FUB) |
