Includes bibliographical references and index.

'For God and Liberty' centres the Catholic Church's contributions to the Age of Revolution, particularly to the rise of democratic political forms in the early republics of the nineteenth century in Latin America. It breaks with secular narratives of the nineteenth century to argue that the major political fault lines in Latin America corresponded to fault lines within the Church, while also grappling with the religious origins of the civil wars in Mexico and Central America.
