Abstract

The Dignitatis Humanae is crucial to understanding how America's faith community succeeded in pushing through a new human rights architecture for foreign policy: the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA). The Roman Catholic Church occupies a strategic space in the U.S. political landscape that made it a vital ally in the struggle for religious liberty. Moreover, the DH was a platform on which Catholic activists were able to transcend inter-denominational squabbling and take a lead role in lobbying for this legislation. Prominent Catholics have also played an important role in the implementation of the IRFA.
