The Magisterium teaches that Christian marriage is a union between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all other persons.Through marriage and conjugal love married couples cooperate with the Creator in the procreation and rearing of children. In the teaching of the Church, the end of marriage is both companionship and procreation. The Igbo people of Nigeria are one group for whom traditional cultural understandings of marriage can stand in tension with official Church teachings. This is because the ideal Igbo marriage is polygamy, and marriage is said to be successful if it produced offspring for the continuation of the ancestral lineage. For the Igbo people, the primary end of marriage is procreation, and more wives ensures more children and more socialstatus for a man. This poses a significant problem for the conversion and proper evangelization of the Igbo people. But can there be an interaction between a people’s culture and the Christian message especially in the area of marriage? Can there be an authentic merger or integration of the Igbo traditional understanding of marriage and the Christian understanding as defined by the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church? To be relevant to the people, the Gospel must take into consideration the human person’s culture. Therefore, those aspects of Igbo understanding of marriage that are contrary to Christian teaching, can and should be inculturated, so that Igbo people can live the Christian faith within their cultural context.

The 2004 Presidential election brought into focus the mobilization and effectiveness of the New Christian Right political movement. With the unusually high election turnout and the vocal involvement in the months leading up to the election, the New Christian Right, and its leaders, attracted national attention. One of the recurring claims of their platform was the assertion that America was meant to be a Christian Nation, and that Christians should step forward to return the country to its religious heritage. The idea that the United States was meant by its founders to be a Christian Nation is tenuous at best, and is often in direct opposition to the historical writings available from the time of the founding. This thesis traces the idea of America as a Christian Nation from the time of the country's colonization through the present day. I include a study of New Christian Right leaders Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and James Dobson; puritan minister Roger Williams; and Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Adams. By examining the leaders who shaped the nation, it becomes apparent that the claims of the New Christian Right are often based on out-of-context quotations and unsupported beliefs about the founding of America. I also examine some of the relevant legal decisions and court cases in United States history. These cases confirm that the United States has traditionally attempted to separate the roles of Church and State, and has tried to make clear the need for a division between an individual's religious belief and his/her public standing.
