New Article on Protecting Proselytism
University of Notre Dame Law Professor Richard W. Garnett's new article entitled Changing Minds: Proselytism, Religious Freedom, and the First Amendment is now available through SSRN. Prof. Garnett describes proselytism a matter of "geopolitical, cultural, and national-security significance". The article, which will appear in the University of St. Thomas Law Journal, argues that the legal protection of proselytism is integral to freedom of conscience, and draws on writings of the late Pope John Paul II to support that position.
