Introduction
The essays in this symposium address the relationship between America's founding principles and what Pope John Paul II has called the "culture of
death" that pervades Western democracies. The articles are written by American Catholics who possess a deep love for their faith and their country, and who are willing to point out the defects of their beloved homeland as these faults have been exposed by faithful reflection and scholarship.
