These are the proceedings of a very interesting conference organised by Pr. Salvatore Berlingo in Messine (Italy) in 2006, with the European Consortium for Church and State Research.
National situations are dealt with in French of in English :
There are also two concluding chapters in English : a one from A. Mottilla (Universidad Carlos III, Madrid) on financing Islam in European countries and another one from Pr Rik Torfs (KU Leuven) on « Church financing - towards a European Model ? » who concludes: « Rigorous criteria for financing cannot be neglected any longer. Statistics or history are relevant criteria for financing some groups and for not financing others, yet they always need transparency and explicit analysis. In the case full equality cannot be reached, reasonable and transparent 'inequality' remains fundamental ».

The important work to form a coherent whole at the start of the contributions should be emphasized. In short, a book that we recommend without reservation.
