...party organizations and policies. Not until the party system broke down, in the dissolution of the Whigs, in the schism of the Democrats, was war possible." Similarly, it has been when one or another party isolated itself from the consensus-whether by reason of the cross-of-gold dogma of William Jennings Bryan in 1896 or the simplistic moralisms of Barry Goldwater in 1964-that the party system has been thrown into great inbalance...

Sure to get eventual approval, too, is a revised declaration on religious liberty, which particularly interests non-Catholic Christians. The document asserts that, as a matter of divine right, "nobody can be forced...
