The book explores the influence of postwar European integration policies on Christian divisions, positing that Roman Catholic internationalism drives supranational integration while Protestantism fosters resistance. Through a detailed historical narrative, it connects sixteenth-century theological conflicts to seventeenth-century constitutional developments, shaping twentieth-century political choices regarding integration. The analysis spans ecclesiastical laws across seventeen West European nations and culminates in a discussion of Brexit and alternatives to the EU, appealing to scholars of EU politics, theology, and European history.
