Watch: The launch of the Archbishop’s book ‘Religion and the 1921 Malta Constitution, Genesis and Implications’

On Thursday 31st October 2019, a new publication by Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna entitled Religion and the 1921 Malta Constitution, Genesis and Implications was launched. 

In this book, the Archbishop researches the origin and subsequent discussions held at the beginning of the 20^th century in order for the Catholic religion to be integrated in Maltese law. The book documents the discussions held, the reports that were drawn up and the personalities who were involved in one way or another during the first two decades of the 20^th century. The Archbishop also gives his analysis on the developments that had taken place.

The book includes a large number of documents that were never published previously, as well as a number of photos of personalities who were involved in one way or another in The Religion of Malta Declaration. Most of the research carried out by the Archbishop took place at the Public Record Office in England in the 1980s, as part of his studies.

The 350 page book has been published by Kite Group. Copies of the book may be ordered on www.kitegroup.com.mt.
