Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines and historicizes the relationship between church and state in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland during the period 1803-1839 through the lens of confessional separation and division. The author argues that rather than being a direct result of religious divisions, this separation was primarily due to the fact that the Catholic population of St. Gallen was able to secure a substantial portion of the former monastery's property following its secularization and subsequent liquidation. Using this property as the basis for a substantial degree of economic independence, the Catholic community in the canton was able to gradually establish itself as a distinct entity with significant autonomy from the state. The book provides a detailed analysis of the legal and administrative frameworks that governed this relationship, highlighting the complex interplay between confessional and state interests in the shaping of St. Gallen's political and social landscape. Through its rigorous historical analysis and insights into the interplay between religion and politics, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the historical development of confessional separation in Switzerland and beyond.
