Harvard student opines on state-church law

Are states too deferential to the Catholic church and its code of canon law? asks Olivia M. Goldhill, an editorial writer for The Harvard (University) Crimson.

In Punishment for the Pope? Blind acceptance of canon law is wrong, Goldhill writes, "Perhaps to arrest the pope is a step too far, but the Roman Catholic Church should know that its jurisdiction does not supersede that of national justice systems."
