This collection of critic The Roman Catholic Bishops of the Caribbean, the Antilles Episcopal Conference (AEC), have over the past forty years written statements addressed to their faithful and people in the wider Caribbean.

Academics, lay persons, pastors, policy makers and politicians will find this a useful collection.
