| Résumé: | William T. Cavanaugh argues that the politics-religion distinction presupposes covert commitments that inappropriately support a migration of the holy from the church to the state. Despite his strong critical instincts, several of his genealogical propensities appear to stand in tension with his commitments to constitutional democracy and the universality of grace. By contrast with Cavanaugh, John Rawls' post-metaphysical reformulation of the politics-religion aims to identify a public criterion compatible with a plurality of comprehensive doctrines. Although I commend Rawls for retaining some form of this distinction, I question the possibility of a post-metaphysical standpoint and its compatibility with his commitment to what he calls the fact of pluralism. Drawing on Bernard Lonergan's transpositions of human nature and grace in this paper's final section, I develop an alternative account of the relationship between politics and religion that aims to harmonize some of the strongest insights from the work of Cavanaugh and Rawls. |
