  Religion and liberty are often thought to be mutual enemies. This title argues that political emancipation and the defense of political liberty have always required the self-sacrifice of people with religious sentiments and a religious devotion to liberty. It shows that when this has been corrupted or suffocated, Italians have lost their liberty.
