A class I wish I could take . . .

. . . at McGill (in Montreal), taught by Victor Muniz-Fraticelli, called "Church and State":

This course will trace the development of the idea of “church autonomy”—or, more properly, the autonomy of religious organizations—in Western political thought.  It is divided into three parts. In the first part, we will explore the
emergence of the idea of libertas ecclesiae (freedom of the church) from the
waning days of the Roman Empire to its vigorous assertion in the eleventh and
twelfth centuries, a period which culminates in the Concordat of Worms in the
Holy Roman Empire and the revocation of the Constitutions of Clarendon in Britain.  In the second part we discuss the transformation of the idea of religious
freedom in the Early Modern Period, which saw the assertion of supremacy by the secular state over religious bodies and their reconception as
voluntary associations of individual citizens. Finally, in the third part, we
consider various current controversies where religious organizations
corporately assert rights to autonomy—including control of membership, property, and governance, exemption from generally applicable laws, and application of religious adjudicative norms—to determine whether the idea of libertas ecclesiae is descriptively useful or normatively desirable.
