Does the structure read like this?

Hi teachers,

The much larger issue that this center raises is, of course, of freedom of religion in America.

Does the whole sentence read like "The much larger issue of freedom of religion in American."?

Thank you.

I don't understand your question. Freedom of religion is a larger issue than something previously discussed, and this issue comes to people's attention because of this center.

Hi Grammar Geek,

Thank you for your help.

Why there's a "of" in front of "freedom of religion in America"

It sounds a bit awkward that way.

It raises the issue of freedom of religion.
The issue that is raised is that of freedom of religion.
The issue of freedom of religion is raised.

We use the "of" -- although I don't think I would in this form: The issue raised is freedom of religion.

Hi Grammar Geek,

Is this one of those structures of "of + adjective / noun phrase"?

Like -

This matter is of great important.

He is of a man.

Can you please also explain what "he is of a man" means?

Thanks again.

Hi Grammar Geek,

I always copied sentences I don't understand. I believe it is what you say a poetic way.

Thank you very much for helping me.
