The Roman Catholic Church and the School Question is a book written by Edwin Doak Mead and published in 1888. The book explores the conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and the public school system in the United States during the late 19th century. Mead argues that the Catholic Church's opposition to public schools is based on its desire to maintain control over the education of its members, and that this conflict has important implications for the future of American democracy. The book provides a detailed historical analysis of the Church's involvement in education in the United States, including its efforts to establish Catholic schools and its opposition to public school funding. Mead also examines the legal and political issues surrounding the Church's position, and argues that the conflict between the Church and the public school system is a fundamental issue of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. The Roman Catholic Church and the School Question is an important work of American history and political theory, and remains relevant today as debates over education and religious freedom continue to shape American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
