American Democracy and the Vatican: Population Growth and National Security

Stephen D. Mumford

4.9/5 (19846 ratings)

Description:This book deals with the national and global security implications of world population growth and urges that this growth problem be redefined in terms different from the customary approaches. The solutions—modern methods of contraception, abortion, sterilization, expanding opportunities for women, sex education, and the like—are in fact gravely threatening the survival of the Vatican, at least its political dimension. According to Father Andrew Greeley, the Vatican leaders are concerned not so much with the religious dimensions of the Church as with its vast worldwide political power. The greater the number of their communicants, the greater the power of this hierarchy. These prelates, recognizing their jeopardy, have placed the religious dimension of the Church at risk in order to prevail politically. The United States National Security Council, on the other hand, in 1979 and 1980, determined that world population growth seriously threatens the security of all nations including the United States. Thus the dimensions of the conflict are defined. AMERICAN DEMOCRACY AND THE VATICAN finds that the political Catholic Church (the Vatican) is pitted against the national security interests of the United States. Clearly, to ignore the population problem will be to invite severe consequences and, ultimately, a complete loss of national and global security. "Stephen Mumford dares to expose a largely secret but powerful opposition to controlling the runaway growth of the human population and establishing a sustainable society by the Vatican. If only half his claims are true, they still describe a grave threat to the future of humankind and the democratic institutions of the United States alike." —Ann and Paul Ehrlich, Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere "... forecasts what could be America's second civil war. It also describes the action needed to prevent this impending catastrophe." —Elton Kessel, M.D., founder, International Fertility Research Program "... sharp insights, unyielding courage, and philosophic sweep that is essential reading for everyone concerned with the assault of the Catholic hierarchy and right-wing fundamentalists on America's long tradition of church-state separation." —Larry Lader, co-founder, NARAL Pro-Choice America "... should be required reading for all women.... The virulent moralists not only attack access to medically safe abortion but also attack family planning (especially in developing countries)-indeed, women's economic rights and independence by seeking to turn women into breeding machines...." —Fran P. Hosken, founder, Women's International Network News (WIN News) "... can help us reverse current trends." —Mary and Lloyd Morain, Planned Parenthood pioneers "... clearly shows that Paul Blanshard's warning of thirty-five years ago that the Vatican had a plan to impose its anti-democratic policies on America was justified ... the effort has accelerated alarmingly.... Vatican policies, backed by Rome and the New Right, are increasing the overpopulation and insecurity of the world. Rome opposes planned parenthood, sex education, abortion, limitation of immigration, and to what end? To the increase of the Vatican's political and financial power. It is a power struggle, not a religious struggle." —Edwin H. Wilson, founder, The Fellowship of Religious Humanists "... extremely interesting and indeed eye-opening.... well worth reading and digesting. It's message is deeply disturbing." —M.
