Don't read it
You won't want to read the second installment of vol. 52 the Villanova Law Review that has just become available online and in print. Don't even consider glancing at the intellectual product of Villanova's first annual Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics, and Culture, the topic of which was "From John Paul II to Benedict XVI: Continuing the New Evangelization of Law, Politics, and Culture." Please don't let your curiosity lead you to our very own Rick Garnett's "Church, State, and the Practice of Love" or Amy Uelmen's ""Reconciling Evangelization and Dialogue Through Love of Neighbor." And since no one will be tempted by Cardinal Dulles's keynote address "The Indirect Mission of the Church to Politics," there's no risking in mentioning it here.
And while I'm at it, please don't mark your calendar for the next Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics, and Culture that will be held at Villanova on October 16, 2007. You certainly won't want to hear Justice Scalia, or Paul Kahn (Yale), or James Stoner (Louisiana State), or Jean Porter (Notre Dame), or Jeremy Waldron (NYU) on "The Judicial Office in Our Constitutional Democracy: Avoiding Dogmatism on a Disputed Question."
