Drugeon, Fanny. "Incarnation sans figures ? : l'abstraction et L'Église catholique en France, 1945-1965." Tours, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007TOUR2015.
Full textThe development of an abstract art within the religion of Incarnation has partly paradoxical consequences regarding the catholic dogma. The point is to understand the part played by the notion of abstract art within the Church, and vice versa, and how an incarnation without figures could be accepted. This dissertation firstly studies the reflexive relationship between the church and the arts, and the institutional and artistic issues linked. Then, it examines the creations partly born because of the will of a connection between the present and the research of a proper Church language. Moreover, through the independent creations appears the complexity of the relations between abstract art and Catholic Church in a non-liturgical environment. Finally, the debate is replaced in a larger context : the modern society, through sacred art exhibitions, shows or collections, where abstract art progressively gains a prime space

Full textAs part of the "awakening of nations", especially noticed on the occasion of the collapse of the communist block, and in the same way of the "awakening of nationalism", that is to say of doctrines that make of the attachment to the nation, of the defence of its identity, the central point of any political reflection, the aim of this thesis is to study, in France and during the period of the 5th republic - from 1958 until today -- catholic nationalism, or national catholicism, in other words a current of ideas that closely associates national identity and catholic identity, so much so that we may mistake one for the other, the defence of the one depending on the defence of the other. The dominant idea is that catholicism is the strongest national bond in France, the essential element of its heritage, and even more a necessity for its preservation and its prosperity

Full textMy research contributes to the history of interwar antisemitism by examining the interplay between two aspects usually neglected in the scholarship on antisemitism: the involvement of Catholic activists and the transnational dimension of antisemitic propaganda. By studying the Catholic network led by the Roman prelate Umberto Benigni and drawing upon the recently opened Vatican archives (Pius XI’s pontificate and Holy Office archives), my work revisits antisemitism through the lens of transnational methods. Challenging the traditional distinction between religious anti-Judaism and modern antisemitism, the overarching question of my research is how the transnational diffusion of antisemitic propaganda played a key role in the reshaping and renewal of Catholic hostility toward Jews during the interwar period. Focusing on a specific network led by Italian and French clerics with global right-wing connections, my dissertation uncovers that antisemitism was the common ground that gathered divergent tendencies as heterogeneous as French Catholics, Italian Fascists, White Russian émigrés, and German National Socialists. As a case study, Msgr Umberto Benigni’s network demonstrates Catholic antisemitism’s transnational connections and permeability with political and racial prejudices. Going beyond the Nazi-centric debate on antisemitism, my research draws upon the recent development of Holocaust studies related to the Italian and Vatican contexts, and examines an alternative model of Catholic Latin antisemitism. My dissertation thus exposes Catholic networks as one of the main vectors and driving forces of antisemitism’s transnational spread during the interwar era

Full textDuring the second half of the Nineteenth century in France, religious to souls of the Purgatory has strongly been " recharged ". Many reasons contribute to explain this phenomenon, such as the importance of the cult to the Dead, the Church' s ambition of giving a new impulsion to Catholicism insisting on devoutness towards the deceased, the belief in "the great number of the Flected" and the will to fight aigainst philosophical/religious movements such as Spiritualism, that would come into opposition to the Catholic approach ot te "End of time ". A this time, the cult of Purgatory wore a thaumaturgic dimension that was missing until then, with the Dead being more than prayer for; they were prayed as true intercessors. Therefore, the Nineteenth century obviously was te greatest tirne of devotion to the souls of the Purgatory. At first, the movement showed appropriate forms of this devotion on an institutionnal aspect with the creation of Brotherhoods, the "oeuvres de messes" and various specialized religious Congregations. A devotional lightening of this trend can be seen through the prayers for te "Abandoned Souls ", the intercessions of the Dead, an increased veneration for the "Virgin of te Suffrage" as well as with te Apparitions. Finally, this devotion wore a theological sight with the rnystical fascination for the souls of the Purgatory that was considered as te "normal way to Salute ". This system's vitality has been predominant until the First World War, of which wa have tried to explain why and how it brutally broke its expansion. After this time, devotion came into a time of decline, particularly noticeably after 1930/1935, a time of deep devotional and theological changes

Full textThe Catholic Church was from the start quite proactive in the way it tackled the tremendous growth in population in major cities which characterised post-war France. The example of the city of Lyon is particularly interesting as it showcases a large variety of different head-on initiatives to bring urbanization under control. Indeed, the beginning of the 1950’s saw the birth of a totally new idea of town planning coming from a variety of different movements such as Economie et Humanisme, expansion committee, diocese-related associations. These endeavours when brought together proved that the Catholic community had gained urban expertise as far as housing, regional planning and town planning were concerned.Meanwhile a vast survey into religious practices and a number of land modifications showed that people at the archbishop’s palace had a firmer grasp on the specificity of the city of Lyon within the diocese. From the late 1950’s to the early 1970’s building new places of worship became a priority for the religious authorities. 1957saw the creation of both a sociology Institute at the Catholic University and a diocesan new parish council the aim of which was to secure financing, to stimulate worshippers’ mobilisation and to spot the best possible locations for the new churches. From the mid-sixties onwards urban growth took centre stage (journals, congresses, roman declarations) as the Catholic Church realised both its scale and its impact on society. This sparked up numerous attempts at setting up an urban pastoral in Lyon. During the 1970’s the diocese’s church-building plan started losing momentum and the Catholic Church found a more secular activism in the defence of city dwellers’ struggles for a better living environment

Full textThis study dedicated to the feminine religions associations of Isère, endeavors to clarify the development of the relationship between religious engagement and social action in the middle of a society founded by women in 1906, for the protection of catholic women working in a hostile environment. These feminine associations supported by ecclesiastical hierarchy and by part of the local catholic middle class, base themselves on the social teaching of the Catholic Church! This inquiry takes into account the same moral and religious motivations as those which create the unity of a social organization with its contradictory effects: they unite more, but also they divide more
Teinturier, Sara. "L'enseignement privé dans l'entre-deux-guerres : socio-histoire d'une mobilisation catholique." Thesis, Rennes 1, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013REN1G026.
Full textIn France, during the interwar period, Catholics ceaselessly claimed public financial support for their schools, which were in a particularly precarious situation. Private Catholic schools subsisted thanks to their teachers who subsumed their hard working conditions to their faith. The strong doctrine of the Catholic Church in educational matters and the acceptance of prescribed roles within the institution were key to maintain a Catholic education system. This claim went alongside a polymorphous activism. Three attitudes prevailed: first, there where the advocates of the realization of Catholic unity, whether in opposition to the political regime or enrolling in the republican legality; then appeared a new movement which demanded the insertion of Catholicism into the modern world. The rejection or the acceptance of the public school system and the definition of private education and of its role, highlighted the issue for the Church: the acceptance or rejection of the pluralisation of French society and of the Catholic opinion. In the 1920’s prevailed the clericalist educational utopia of a Christian society of which Catholic schools would be the spearhead. The 1930’s saw a paradoxical reconfiguration: in the same time that bishops took the initiative of creating a National Committee for private education in 1931, the declericalization of Catholic action was confirmed. In doing so, Catholic militancy which enabled the maintenance of schools, was also responsible for the politicization of the ecclesial scope and, ultimately, of its secularization
Dubrulle, Luc. "Mgr Rodhain et le Secours catholique : une figure sociale de la charité." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040048.
Full textFifty years after its German neighbour, the Roman Catholic Church in France endowed itself in 1946 with a central organisation of charity, called Secours Catholique. At the end of the Second World War, enhanced by his founding of a General Chaplaincy for prisoners of war, Canon Jean Rhodain (b. 1900), was appointed Secretary General of this new charity organisation, of which he was to remain “the boss” until he died in 1977. Substantiated by the scrutiny of a thousand or so written documents of Mgr Rhodain and the spheres of action of Secours Catholique, the present study is both historical and theological. Its purpose is to portray the social figure of charity that comes out of this investigation. At first conducive, in a pedagogical approach, to a view of integral charity, as should be practiced by the whole Church and all mankind, this figure has been inclined, year after year, to differentiate itself as a more and more efficient central organisation of charity. Though attempting to rehabilitate charity by way of an intransigent doctrinal reaction, Mgr Rhodain, by such practical achievements as the creation of prototype cities, has facilitated has facilitated the re-establishment of the credibility of charity in a secularized society
Gutierrez, Laurent. "L'éducation nouvelle et l'enseignement catholique en France : 1899-1939." Paris 8, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA082972.
Full textThis thesis contends that filiation assumed the philosophical ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau by a majority of the representatives of the movement of new Education, mixed with ignorance theoretical and practical methods by active members of the Christian education community has condemned the understanding and, by the same token, the dissemination of this teaching in French Catholic teaching between the late nineteenth century and the beginning of World War II. At the same time, the proliferation of referees called to legitimize this profane pedagogy has developed in its place a sceptic among Catholics that has since confirmed that some representatives of this education movement have affirmed their commitment to political struggles contrary to those of the Church

Full textTwo phenomena came out in the early 1990's which seemed totally contradictory. On the one hand, with two different cases, the "affaire du foulard" and the "affaire clovis", some of the fundamental principles of the french secularised (non-religious) state education system were brought into question ; on the other hand, in france there was a growing interest in religious cultures, which was demonstrated in the teaching programme by religious questions being included in history syllabuses following the 1995 reform. The paroisse universitaire has always been dealing with the non-religious issues since it was founded by joseph lotte in 1911 and its vocation was really to unite two distinct ideologies which opposed throughout the 20th century, i. E. Secularisation and catholicism. Made up of catholic lecturers from the three orders (later four when the technique schools appeared in 1951) of the french university, the paroisse universitaire breathed new life into the consideration given to the problem of state education, which reached its peak in 1951 when pope pius xii welcomed a pilgrimage to rome (the birth of an openly secularised system). As a key observer in the post-war state education struggles (philip, paul-boncour and lapie commitees, as well as in the marie-barange and debre laws), the paroisse universitaire became interested, encouraged by its national chaplain, the oratorian priest pierre dabosville (1907-1976), in current affairs problems and in particular the war in algeria and the sharp check imposed on working priests (1954), thus uniting all of the conditions for a renewal of the commitment of the french catholic intellectuals
Defrance-Jublot, Fanny. "Être préhistorien et catholique en France (1859-1962)." Thesis, Paris, EPHE, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016EPHE5014.
Full textIn the second part of the XIXth century in France, the context of secularization created a dividing line between theological and scientific discourses about human origins. In spite of this, several archaeologists publicly displayed their Catholic faith during this period. These archaeologists felt a connection, rather than a boundary, between their faith and their scientific research. They viewed the Bible as symbolic rather than literal and sought in prehistoric remains proofs that supported their Catholic beliefs. Thus, their faith had a certain influence on their interpretations of prehistoric man. Although several facts seemed to testify against historicity of Genesis, Catholic archaeologists always tried to resolve incoherencies and establish acceptable scenarios. They did this for themselves and to support fellow Catholics alarmed by anticlerical objections. I examine these connections but also another boundary: what could be said and what could not be said in the French Catholic community about prehistoric origins in the context of the Modernist crisis

Full textPierre-Marie Gerlier is united with the diocese of Lyon whose he was in charge of about thirty years between I937 and I965. Especially during the Second World war he had to take position in front of the Government of French State, Shoah and Resistance. This darkened years brought about him friendships and, also, charges. Astonishing, he's the symbol of episcopacy in spiritual resistance and too the symbol of representative of compromised catholics. This man was particulary an integral catholic engaged since I902 in the French Youth catholic Association for better living conditions, militant for the papal thinking result of Rerum novarum, guided to the apostolate, advocate of an ostentatious Church in a republican and secular nation, protagonist of a religion based on a personal devotion, sacrament of the eucharist and marian piety. Became priest, Pierre-Marie Gerlier, in his different assignments (direction of Christians' Associations in Paris- I921 to I929-, Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes- I929-I937-, Archbishop of Lyon) declare this catholic thinking with conviction and declamatory talent. Certainly the integral Roman Catholicism establishes his positions before, during and after the war

Full textAt the beginning of the century, the catholic Church is on the defensive in the dioceses of Meaux and Versailles, which are located in a Parisian area characterized by religious indifference. In 1905, the law of separation is voted, as a continuation of the process of secularization initiated in the 1880s. Identified as an act of oppression, the law is rejected by the clergy. But the implementation of the law does not cause disturbances. Clergy and local authorities express their willingness to appease, while worship continues with great continuity. The law leads to a great impoverishment for the Church, especially due to pie X's refusal of forming "associations cultuelles". Nevertheless the Church not only survives, but experiences revival. The two dynamic bishops appointed to the seats of Versailles only survives, but experiences (Mgr Gibier) and Meaux (Mgr Marbeau) turn to good account the new freedom of the Church, leaning on the movements of laymen and works, causing the development of a first "Action catholique"

Full textThis study examines the relationships between the imposition of the cinema as a mass media and the redefinition of a social group with a mission – French Catholicism – in the course of the twentieth century. This thesis describes, in the context of a religious recession, the construction of a denominational cinephile perspective with all its axiological and militant contradictions. In a first period, between 1895 and 1928, Catholics attributed a social significance to the cinema while Communists and secular organizations envisaged using it for their own different propagandist ends. Due to their systematic, innovative approach, the Church became a forerunner in the field of cinematographic action. In the second period, from 1928 until the end of the Second World War, the avant-garde nature of Catholic media activity took shape as it resorted to institutionalizing collective screenings and discussions inside a social dispositif. During the Popular Front, the mobilization in the field of the cinema reached a new height, crowned indirectly by Pope Pius XI's encyclical letter Vigilanti Cura. The third period that ended in 1958, is characterized by Catholic inventiveness in the field of cultural action. During the post-war period, the cultural policy of the Church changed with its different cinephile networks and its spectacular controversies in the field of film reviews. And finally, a period of normalization of the relations between religion and cinema began in 1958 and was confirmed by the Second Vatican Council. As the relations created by the cinema-related networks gradually dwindled, French Catholicism got bogged down in anti-cinema attitudes

Full textA believer deeply needs to show his faith. So, public worship is religiously essential, especially for catholicism. Consequently, it sets the problem of the external manifestations of this worship. Which place in history can they have, and have they? This is the subject of this work, focused on the diocese of bordeaux, studied between 1789 and 1905. Three periods are able to be splitted up. The first one covers the revolutionnary, crisis. It was developped in two steps, in which a stage of special links between the authorities and clerical powers -links of mutual support, then link managed in a coerciver way by temporal powers- gave place to a time of persecutions. The logic of the revolution implied to ban every external signs of religious belonging. Nevertheless, this struggle was never completely successful. During the "concordat", the reinstatement of the cults was kept under control. The good will proved by both sides permitted to get a balance in their relationships. Then, catholics increased their demonstrations, and some religious duties became civil obligations again. This lead to a poles apart reaction. So, between 1800 and 1867, the initial balance was more and more questionned. Between 1868 and 1905, the compromise vanished under the attacks of laicization. Indeed, a first trend searching to give back its freedom to everyone faded in front of an increased hostility to external proofs of catholicism. The 1905 act, still enforced, renewed a question which has always been with us

Nantes, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998NANT3014.
Full textThis thesis analyses the information from the announcement of vatican ii until its closure in 1965. About sixty media have been used, among them three local daily papers (ouest-france, presse-ocean et l'eclair), six national daily papers (france-soir, le figaro, l'aurore, la croix, le monde et l'humanite), two weekly diocesan ones, four weekly periodicals of district, seven weekly parisian papers (paris-match, le canard enchaine, l'express, minute, le nouvel observateur, le nouveau candide et france-dimanche), seven catholic information periodicals (le pelerin, la vie catholique, panorama chretien, ecclesia, la france catholique, temoignage chretien and l'homme nouveau), a dozen catholic action press sections (l'echo des francaises, france monde catholique, hello, rallye-jeunesse, jeunesse ouvriere. . . } and sixteen parish reports. The information given by television, radio (france inter, europe 1, radio-luxembourg and radio-vatican) have been taken into account as well as the cinema events. The first part presents the framework of the research, the diocese of nantes and the most broadcasted newspapers. The two other parts examines how the people of loire-atlantique has been informed, respectively, on the setting of the council (from 1959 to 1963) and the application of the first council reformations (dealing mainly with liturgy), from 1964 to 1965. This thesis also takes an interest in the role given to the parish, to the catholic action and the bishop of nantes who inform the diocesans concerning the council

Full textSpreading a coherent message among the public appears as the main priority of the pontificate of pope pius xi. It was done with the view of restoring the belief in christ in contemporany societies and implied the setting up of real strategy in the matter of public opinion, and a definite policy toward the press in particular. This book focuses on a global survey of the pontificate with this aiminview; ataking the study of the press in france and italy as a starting point, it assesses the impact of this- policy on the catholics as well as on the other layers of the population. The election of the pontiff and his death are privileged times when on can size up the evolution of the image of pius xi during his reign, and note the unanimity prevailing at the time of his death. The pontificate, which is chronologically analysed. Keeping this strategy as a guideline, resolves on two periods the watershed being the years 1929-1930. Up to then, the pope had launched the doctrinal grounds for his action and found solutions to the serious problems that hampered the papal strategy. From 1931 to 1939, after a period of time when the pope was unaninously praised for his political views, pius xi, magnified by his illness, took up strong publics positions on important matters in 1937-1938. He appears, in france in particular, as the defender of the rights of man and in both countries as the pope of peace and herald of christian values

Full textThe contemporary French diocesan districts are the fruit of a very former, fortifying inheritance at the dawn of the Christendom. Their study, of the French Revolution in the law of Separation of the Church and the State of 1905, demonstrates that they are between multiple data. The analysis of the diocesan card belongs to various domains of research. Under the territorial report, she recovers from the ecclesiastical and administrative geography. Under the political report she reveals the connections of the Church and the State. Nevertheless, these two elements are strictly connected. According to the set up regimes, the restructuring of the diocesan space and its stake in accordance with the national territory establish a fundamental objective, as illustrates it the revolutionary period. From the monarchic Restoration, the diocesan creation will become the field of real power struggles between the Parliament and the government. If this work articulates around transfers undergone throughout the XIXth century by the diocesan districts, it also analyses the various political, economic and social stakes lifted during the erection or during the abolition of a diocese and a modification of the diocesan territorial limits. The analysis of the French diocesan districts between 1789 and 1905 reveals two elements. Between 1789 and 1822, they undergo profound turnovers, a total reformation. Between 1822 and 1905, the French diocesan is henceforth stabilized. It will undergo some light modifications, but nothing comparable with the previous regimes

Full textThis thesis tackles the attirude of both clerical institution and church goers to birth limitation over half a century. In a traditionnaly malthusian country, the survey puts into light an ancient controversy. In the first part (1919-1930), the church doctrine, conjugal sexual behaviours and confessors' reactions are displayed. Conjugal onamism is a current practise. Moreover the survey shows that the clergy was divided and quite reluctant to entail the harsh rules from rome. The second part (1931-1954) is a study of the church attitude to the ogino method. The legitimacy given by pie xii of birth regulation through periodical continence didn't suppress however the growing unease of catholic militants. This question raises the relation the church and catholics have to sexuality. In the third part (1955-1968), the debate became public. This part demonstrates : 1 that the french public opinion waited for the pope's answer to the "pill"; 2 that this thelogical reflexion paved the way for an evolution of the catholic morale which attenuated the condamnation of contraception and was closes to the protestant stand. Lastly, the fourth part shows how the french protest against humanae vitae was lessened by the soothing directives given by french episcopale

Full textThe Concordat imposed by Napoleon in 1802 marked the XIXth century, which closed on December 9, 1905, when Parliament voted the laws separating the Churches from the State. The century was deeply disturbed by changing political regimes and great cultural, industrial, colonial, as well as religious events. Then, the tempest following the Dreyfuss affair, together with the rebirth of anticlericalism and the efforts of the Freethinkers, gave way to many conflicts with the Churches, the Catholic Church in particular. The law about the associations (1901), and later (1903 and 1904) those forbidding State-education by Congregations, hastened numerous projects of separation of the Churches, and the State and the abrogation of the Concordat in 1802. We chose to study the emergence and first consequences of the Separation in the archives of the Parisian parishes, trying to understand the state of mind of both clerics and faithful, and the discourse showing the division of France in two conflicting parties : catholic and patriotic, on one side, and the freedom from religions on the other. Throughout the pages of this thesis, we shall follow the evolution of parochial life in Paris. The cancellation on the budget for the Cult made things tight for the very few State-employed priests in Paris. Fear of a schism due to Article 4 of the law about cult-intended associations (rejected by Rome) will provide the elements of a new Parisian Catholicism, with the training of the clerics, evangelization of the suburbs, passing from a religion of leadership to a faith “proposed”

Full textIn the 1960s, in the wave of the reception by the Catholics of the Second Vatican Council in a context of increasing immigrant population in France, Catholic popular education movements like JOC-F (association of Young Christian Workers), ACE (Catholic Action for Children) and the Sun Units of the Girl Guides of France, started interacting with young people from North African and Turkish background, often through priests and religious dedicated to the apostolate in popular milieu. Very quickly the leaders of those movements, inspired by Christian Third-Worldism, affirm their concern to respect these young people’s immigrant culture and specific religion, based on the advice of Catholic specialists of Islam. Some of these young Muslims take on responsibilities and affirm the importance of this commitment in their lives from a political as well as a religious point of view. They express that they have become "better Muslims", while being aware of the originality of their faith compared to that of their parents, because of a phenomenon of spiritual mimicry which reinforces the overall trend toward the individualization of one’s relationship to religion, common to the majority of young Muslims of their generation. In the 1980s, the presence of young Muslims raises questions within ACE and JOC-F movements that were at the same time reaffirming their apostolic project in the context of John Paul II’s pontificate. The sometimes divisive debates focus mainly on "Muslim times" and the taking on responsibilities by Muslims. They fade in the 1990s, at a time when the number of young Muslims "joined" by ACE and JOC-F declines. From the 1990s onwards, Muslims are more numerous within the Scouts of France and then the Scouts and Girl Guides of France, through the development of proposals specifically directed to disadvantaged youth. In these movements, the presence of young Muslims is analysed and valued in terms of interfaith dialogue, in a period of increasing interfaith initiatives in France

Full textThe aim of this workis to assess the process of the Romanization of the Franch episcopate during the 19th century. The Concordat signed between Napoleon and the Papacy in 1801 was more rooted in the Gallican tradition than the Roman definition of the episcopate. All along the century, and long before the Separtion in 1906, depending from the will of the Popes, the strength of the bishops and the varying benevolence of the governments, there was a “return towards Rome”, proved, for instance, by the introduction of the Roman liturgy in the French dioceses and by the growing respect of the old but abandoned until the middle of the century obligation of the “visits ad limina apostolorum”. The consideration of the bishops status allows to reopen the important historical question to know whether they were state servants or churchmen, in order to define their places in the social hierarchy and to evaluate their impact on the public life. The sources of his thesis are first of all the National archives (Paris), the Vatican Secret Archives (Rome), the archives of the French dioceses, as well the French classical literarure (Stendhal, Zola, Balzac, Anatole France, Huysmans)

Full textThe French chaplains' corps, reorganized in 1880 by a law supplemented from 1881 to 1944 by decrees, comprises three sectors : Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish, with Islam being represented only during world war II. Up to 1940, the chaplains' corps hardly exists except in times of wars, overseas military operations or occupation of foreign territories such as Rhineland, and its hierarchy remains very loose : there are chaplains rather than a chaplains' corps. In the garrisons in France, it amounts to a few charities for the soldiers, outside the barracks, and without any real structure. The IVth Republic provides a synthesis between the Vichy and the free French forms of chaplains' corps. From the first one, it retains the idea of a territorial and permanent chaplains' corps, made up of civilian personnel as far as France herself is concerned. From the second, it takes up the principle of a greater integration of the chaplains' corps within the army, this chaplains' corps being kept in reserve for foreign theatres of operations. The institution is centralized within each denomination. The Roman Catholics are under the authority of a vicar for the armies. As it is at the heart of the relations between state and churches, the chaplains' corps tries to reconcile religious convictions with patriotic or even militaristic feelings. If, during World War I, the two are undeniably linked, this link is interpreted by Vichy more as the traditional alliance between the army and the church, whereas it is seen as a crusade against Nazism by the Free French. It becomes trickier during the war in Algeria, when the chaplains' corps reminds people of their moral principles, enlightens their consciences but does not condemn men. Finally, the institution concurs to peace. Within the French forces in Germany, it meets the clergy and congregation of that country. From 1958 onwards, the aim of the Lourdes international military pilgrimage is the same

Full textFrom the thirties on, the action catholique starts considering the training and the sending of lay missionaries in view of the evangelisation of the maritime world. These "new men", these "native" laymen, these sailors, these militants appointed by the action catholique, whose apostolic responsibility is recognised by the church's hierarchy, are apostles among their peers, in charge of the "conquest" of their brothers. Their objective, in particular with the help of the action catholique's organisations and a handful of priests, is to create a new maritime world, a maritime lay christianity. In 1945 starts the mission of the sea, created on the model of a missionary institute. It is almost a religious congregation, whose aim is, in turn, to recruit and train missionaries and priests for the sake of the maritime world's evangelisation. Some priests, educated in the mission de France’s seminary created in 1941, will try to become sailors while going down the steps of what can be called an "incarnation scale". The further they "go down" this scale in order to become priests and sailors, the farther they cast away from the traditional model of the Roman Catholic priest. Their "experiment", which upsets both the maritime world and the church, survives until the catholic hierarchy demands the complete stop of those working priests, who challenge the "uncompromising Catholicism" (Emile Poulat) and the traditional model of the priest. The simultaneous combination of the increasing apostolic influence of laymen trained by the action catholique and the "downwards" movement of clergymen implied by their presence within the sailors' world, blurs the traditional and admitted differences between priests and laymen that have existed for centuries. Maybe an essential clue to understand the nowadays identity crisis of the catholic priest can be found there

Full textP-m theas, first bishop of montauban, then of tarbes and lourdes, has left popular stock-pictures of himself as a peasant, a worker of the french resistance and a red. The historian is confronted with these pictures hiding the true nature of his character but also with the problem of sources (as they aren't all available) and that of biography. P-m theas protested against the persecution of the jews in 1942. Though he has first supported the vichy government, he also rebelled against the labour deportation and against the intimidations of the german occupation troops. After acting as a diplomat between france and the holly see, he became involved in social issues, fighting frontically against communism. Unable to find a solution to the dramatic shortage of religious callings in his diocese, incapable of keeping up a good relationship with the clergy, he nevertheless proved to be a very good bishop for lourdes as he understood the role the sanctuary could have in the world and decided that its theological message should be studied, thus giving lourdes the place it deserved within the church

Full textThe religious surveys made after the Second World War stress the dynamism of the Diocese of Annecy. However this matter has not been examined until now. That is why it seems interesting to study its evolution between the separation of Church and State (1905) and Council Vatican II (1962) using a monographic approach.The enforcement of the Law of " Separation" raised some problems but also gave the opportunity to stress " The Blue Catholicism " of the diocese. As a consequence, Laymen appeared on the Front of the Stage, inducing the rising of Catholic movements which grew throughout this period inspire of the two World Wars. This helped to maintain the dynamism of the Diocese thought the part played by the bishops and the clergy must not be forgotten. However, inspire of the impulse, we can notice a tension between catholic movements and political stakes. Between 1939 and 1945, we must remember the part played by several priests who helped the French Resistance movement. Numerous laymen joined The " Army of the Shadows " and some priests suspected of being collaborationists were murdered. Throughout this period, the efforts made from the beginning of the study, allowed the diocese not to know too quickly the Crisis of priesthood related with calls to the Church. After the war, these were the main concerts as well as religious schools and the news forms of the Pastoral concomitant with sociological surveys and local missions which gives us a photography of the diocese on the eve of the Council

Full textMgr Maxime Charles (1908-1993) is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding figures in post-war French Catholicism, as shown by his activity among Parisian students from 1944 to 1959 at the Centre Richelieu, and by his twenty-six years as rector, from 1959 to 1985, of the Sacred-Heart Basilica erected by a national vow on the hill of Montmartre. How was such a priest trained? If one may refer to his distinctive style as “Carlism”, what are its origins? This study seeks to trace the sources of a priestly vocation and to analyse the clerical education received at the Parisian minor seminary at Conflans, in the municipality of Charenton, from 1922 to 1928, and then, from 1928 to 1935, at the university seminary of les Carmes, part of the Institut catholique of Paris. In the wake of these years of formal education, the study also examines the first years of ministry of the young priest sent, at his request, to a parish in a working class suburb of Paris, at Malakoff, where he deals principally with youth movements. Together with this biographical approach, the study is a contribution to the history of clerical education in France between the wars, through observation of the minor seminary of Paris and, more particularly, the university seminary of les Carmes, founded in 1919 by Jean Verdier, the future Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, which had become in a few years the leading seminary in France. Finally, this study is a reflection on the catholic revival in France in the nineteen-twenties and thirties

Full textThe thesis offers, by the analysis of one of its crucial moments, an original interpretation of the relationship between Catholicism and Nation. Until now, historians have interpreted the legitimization/sanctification of the Great War by the European Catholic churches as a form of yielding, or concession. Anxious to demonstrate their 'patriotism' (and hence escape decades of exclusion from European lay politics), they conveniently forgot their pacifism just as they did their internationalism, as happened in the case of the summer 1914 collapse of the Second International. However, a very different picture of how the Catholic churches adhered to the Great War emerges from an analysis of the acts of consecration to the Sacred Heart. Practices of the Christianising of war and the Nations involved in fighting it speak not of concession but rather of 'action' (John L. Austin), of a symbolic reconquering, consequently suggesting that we reconsider the relationship between Catholicism and Nation, and also the integration of Catholics within the Nation-State in Italy and France in terms of 'hegemony'. A study in both histoire croisée and comparative history; this thesis not only encompasses the rituals (and the 'dreams') of French and Italian Catholics, but also the reactions of the Kingdom of Italy and the French Republic, in addition to anticlerical opinion. It aims to grasp the glances thrown between each of these 'actors', and also my own 'observer's gaze' - with its own specific cultural background and way of relating to the 'actors' I study

Full textThe Separation of the Churches and the State creates a new situation. Deep changes take place in the exercise of religion and in the material conditions of existence of the clergymen. To meet the requirements of the time, the catholics of Charente unite (creation of the UCAS), meet during diocesan congresses, work on the reorganization of charities and seek to promote new forms of apostolate (press, cinema,. . . ). The youth, threatened by secularism, are subjected to constant concern. In order to protect children's and teenagers consciences, youth charities accept some transformations and open up to new activities : sporting, theatrical, musical. . . The period following the Separation, by appealing more to laymen, released up to then restrained strengths: Catholic youth, women of the LPDF. However, World War I breaks out in this context. It ruins the boost given to charities because of human losses young priests and laymen in change of movements. Numerous activities are left dormant. The war, however, changes mantalities and makes people kinder toward clergymen. Even if the streak of anticleri-ca1ism still remains, the commitment of the catholics of Charente in the Union sacrée proves flawless. Many charities born during the war are led by priests or benefactresses. Once peace is back, controversies re-emerge and remind one of the quarrels from the turn of the century. The repercussion of the war on economy and mentalities are numerous and arouse questioning about pastoral tendencies. That's why a reflection starts about "the social issue" and it foreshadows the resort to specialised catholic action movements

Full textThe thesis presents a study of the catholic people of Moselle during the World War II which includes the episcopal hierarchy, the clergy, the congregations, the pious laity and the practitioners. It concerns as well the events occurring in Moselle than in the reception departments in the south of France after the evacuations from 1939-1940 and the expulsions from 1940-1941. The exhaustive study of the archives of the Bishopric, rather large because the priests have written a lot face to other sources and in particular German sources, helped to understand this two-headed that gives the Moselle particular interest since it was both face anti-Christian Nazi policy because of the annexation and the conciliatory policy towards the Church of the French State due to the transfer of more than a third of its population and half of the clergy and religious. This two-headed, sole in France, even in relation to Alsace itself annexed to the Reich, gives originality to the Church of Moselle. This study, priori regional, becomes national enrolling in those from 80’s upon the Church of France, or even European, because the Moselle was experimentation field of a Nazi anti-Christian policy. This study becomes sociological when it shows the consequences of the religious practice of the dispersion in a rather hostile environment. After demonstrating the omnipresence in the Moselle Catholicism community became an identity element partially related to Concordat status and keeping of religious schools, we respected the chronology to show the impact of acts of war on the Moselle Catholic people. We divided our work into two parts, November 1940 and expulsions constitute the breaking point. With computer skills, we were able to maintain accurate statistics, mapping religious practice and dispersion. Sometimes this requirement to fetch the source and the historical analysis that ensued jostled the patriotic memory. This study aims to fill a historiographical vacuum and be an additional element in the knowledge of the annexation of the Moselle, the politic of Nazification and the Moselle diaspora

Full textThis document provides the first account of the History of the Jeunesse Etudiante Chrétienne (J. E. C. ) between 1945 and the seventies. That association is officially acknowledged and supported by the catholic hierarchy. It gathers catholic pupils and students who evangelize other pupils. While studing it, anyone tries to understand the link the french catholic Church keeps up with modernity, which is distinguished as a process marked by the State secularization, the advent of rationalism and the individual’s autonomy, at the expense of tradition, in particular religious. The study finally points out that the J. E. C. Seems to be an area of synthetis between modernity ad tradition. The author emphasizes the contribution from the J. E. C. To the change in the school system, in the catholic Church of France, in policies and in the intellectual thought. The author sets out the commitment of the movement to the fighting against the Algerian war and its attitude in May 1968. The thesis is supported with the analysis of various records which had never been analysed before. Besides the account and analysis of the events, the thesis provides additional tools to the future researcher : the list of ruling staff, a presentation of the officials and the outcome of a survey among former militants

Full textThe aim of this study has been to understand the nature of the alliance that was forged at the beginning of the 20th century between an important fraction of French Catholics and the nationalist school formed by the Action française. If the very special historical circumstances at the beginning of the century--the Dreyfus affair, anticlericalism, the separation of church and state, the religious crisis over modernism (1907) and the condemnation of the sillon (1910)--explain the favor enjoyed by the Action française in church circles, it is also clear that the positivist and pagan doctrine of the movement's chief leader and ideologue, Charles Maurras, provided ample scope for criticism to its opponents. The latter exploited this vulnerability, which resulted, on January 29, 1914, in a first condemnation of seven works of Maurras by the congregation of the index. Pope Pius X approved and signed this condemnation, but he deemed it preferable to suspend its promulgation so as not to appear to lend support to adversaries of his pontificate. Twelve years later, in very different historical circumstances, marked by the course of events following the first world war, Pope Pius XI reviewed the whole case and concluded that it was imperative to issue a severe warming to French Catholics against the paganism of the principal leaders of the Action française. This warming was very badly received. Few bishops gave active support to the pope. The leaders of the Action française revolted (non possumus). .

Full textThe thesis relates the story of the french christian groups - both catholic and protestant ones - who stood out against the french war in Indochina between 1945 and 1954 and against the american war in Vietnam between 1965 and 1975. It is mainly based on the study of about thirty periodicals with a christian approach, and on private archives belonging to christian militants and movements. But in order to make a comparison with secular groups, it also uses other sources of information that are similar as to their nature though non christian. The thesis is centered on the concept of commitment. Its aim is to state the motivation, the pace of activity and the forms of christian militancy against both wars in Indochina : by analysing militant rhetoric, it shows how the war was turned into a cause ; and it charts the progress of the various anti-war protest activities that christians organised or in which they took part so as to act out their disapproval. There are three parts following the chronology of events : the first part, dealing with the french war in Indochina, focuses on how various actors took public stand, a process which led to acts of commitment by groups or individuals, taking place between 1947 and 1954. This part allows us to develop a typology of christian activism at a time when the first wave of decolonization and the cold war loomed large. The second part is about the first phase do the american war in Vietnam between 1965 and 1968. The christian opposition to that war is partly what gave birth to a significant disagreement within ecclesiastical hierarchies in the post Vatican II period. The third part covers the years 1969 to 1975 and shows militants trying to rebuild some form of christian identity, especially through commitment against the war in Vietnam. This was to be achieved by elaborating a liberation theory, by seeing how it was possible to act in accord with non-christians within the dynamics of a coalition of left wing political parties and/or by creating humanitarian associations centered on Vietnam

I demonstrated what commitment for French Flanders implied to Priest Jean-Marie Gantois. In the first part I examined his intellectual apprenticeship, his reactions towards contemporary ideologies and the making of his own doctrine on archetypal Flanders. In the second part I determined his position in several social fields, his involvement in creating interactional modes and his responsability for some invented traditions. In the third part I studied his conception of collective action, his actual initiatives and his endeavour to institutionalise a nationalitarian dynamic

Full textMy PhD dissertation analyzes the reactions of the Holy See as well as of French and Italian Catholics, through a comparative approach, to the events in Vietnam between the second half of 1963 and the first half of 1966. Within this time frame, a series of events would bring the international attention back on Vietnam, while Paul VI would resume the work of the Second Vatican council and lead it to a conclusion, and while both the international system and Western European societies would go through major transformations in their deep structures. Based on my study, I argue that between 1963 and 1966 Vietnam would have been perceived as the scene of three different forms of conflict in the eyes of the Church. A religious war (1963, ‘Buddhist crisis’), a potential atomic third world war (1964-1965, Gulf of Tonkin crisis and U.S. full military intervention in Vietnam), and an asymmetric, semi-conventional war that would cause a humanitarian emergency (1965-1966, intense escalation of the war). Each of these forms of conflict would raise specific and delicate issues for the conciliar Church, most of which regarding the relationship between religion and politics. The most pressing of these issues would come to be the legitimacy of the “Just War” doctrine in the atomic age, the need for concrete action in favor of peace on behalf of the whole Church, and primacy of conscience amongst the Catholics. Engaged in a complex and often contradictory internal dialectic, the Church appears to have been divided between the spirit of Vatican II’s ‘aggiornamento’, introduced by John XXIII’s magisterium, and the its traditional connection with the West, marked by Pius XII’s rigid anticommunism of the Fifties

Full textThe French episcopate, renewed by Pius XI after the condemnation of the Action française (1926) in order to substitute the spirit of conquest for the spirit of religious defense, is deeply united. Non only this community is favored by the shared implementation of the specialized catholic action groups, but it also bears the war veteran mark. French and catholic identities are intimately combined in the new prelates anxious to promote the integration of the faithful into the national community and to associate patriotism and pacifism through optimistic speeches. Throughout the thirties, those aspirations offended the old and more conservative generation of bishops. But in 1940, Pétain represented the federative figure for the entire catholic hierarchy. This relationship was not altered by time and, even though a few bishops stood aloof (reactions of summer 1942), most prelates remained the tragic prisoners of their loyalty to Marshal Pétain until the end. The arrests that took place at the end of the Occupation period were thus erased by the dismissals of the Liberation. Unable to recognize the action of the resistant youth, the generation of war veterans bishops lost the heroic credit they had gained in the trenches. The repercussions of getting old was notable and expressed themselves through a new incomprehension of time (post-war purges). The objections raised about the hierarchic authority during the next decade (worker priests) further emphasized this isolation. However, the efforts taken to adapt the episcopal message should be acknowledged (decolonization). Neither should Vatican II hide the institutional improvements made to the church hierarchy during the anterior (plenary assemblies). Thanks to the long life of Pius XI bishops generation (thirty years up to the Council), it is possible to develop this study following the ryhtm of individual biographies : youth, maturity, old age

Full textIn the "Diocese de Bayeux" his grace lordship Brault's bishopric (1802-1823) was marked by an institutional disruption which provoked such important conflicts with the opponents of the new religious system that a peaceful application of the "Concordat" soon appeared impossible. The concordative church became established on a merciless struggle against its opponents. The bishop crushed the lower church and brought down the "Église constitutionnelle" with the support of the prefect. The dominant feature of the bishop's attitude during this disturbed period was his respect for the established order. However his cleverness allowed him to face the claims of the imperial government and it allowed him to get a domination position under the "Restauration". The episcopate was also marked by the establishment of new financial structures which allowed the church to earry its pastoral action through out, to a successful conclusion. The religious work of restauration accomplished by this bishop consists in the formation of a well-knit "personnel concordataire" : that is to say a well educated and important clergy, and flourishing religious congregations composed especially of women on the one hand. On the other hand it consists in the revival of the christian life due to an active pastoral within the parishes and due to the seizure of the "enseignement" by the church

Full textFor a long time, sacred music had often displayed excessive duration and virtuosity. This had made people forget the primacy of worship in church services: one could imagine oneself in a concert. . . Therefore, at the end of the 19th century, a few musicians formed various movements in order to counter this decadence. The pope Pius X even decided to encourage himself restoration works by publishing a "motu proprio" on 22th november, 1903, which explained what had to be the church music. But this motu proprio caused many controversies in France, which were reported in newspapers and debated in special congresses. However those reflections also led many composers to create new works, which were mostly pale imitations of Palestrina’s music. (Palestrina was indeed presented as the second model for sacred music after the Gregorian chant). A lot of composers consequently preferred to avoid such a mediocrity: they gave free rein to their creativity out of the church by including religious scenes in their oratorios or operas. But around the years 1925-1930, a growing number or musicology surveys as well as more serenity in debates enabled church composers to understand that ancient music had not to confine their creativity in past forms, but could reveal a special musical spirit. As a consequence, a more unified and inspired understanding of the liturgical music came out. Such an evolution at different levels revealed the great richness of Pius X's remarks. His thoughts had also unexpected consequences, which were then impregnated with his interest in making the congregation take an active part in church services, what shows his modernity. Nowadays, our repertoire has lost the influence of past forms of sacred music. Our ideas about church music vary between liturgical choir and sole leaders of hymns. Couldn't we now draw from the motu proprio ideas to renew our present practices ?

Full textThis study means to describe how a tragic era, short, yet eventful, was looked by a daily newspaper of a “classical" form of Catholicism, i. E. Submissive to church hierarchy and rather conservative in political terms, and as such representative of most French Catholics. The topic requires constant background recalling of the historical events of the years 1940 to 42, which La Croix focused and commented upon. Men, ideas, facts are perceived and guessed at through what the newspaper wrote - and remained silent about. The decisive part played by censorship needs to be dwelt upon as it gave La Croix a twofold aspect: both the medium of texts imposed upon them by the powers-that-be, hence an instrument of propaganda, and the closely watched and heavily censored mouthpiece of the editorial staff trying to voice their own opinions. What was La Croix able to say, what were they compelled to say- and to hush up about the turnarounds and dramas which were the aftermath of defeat? About the French state, its head, and its program? About the reversal of diplomatic positions, about collaboration with Germany? About anti-semitic persecution? About the subservience and the silence of the catholic hierarchy? Did the fact that the newspaper was kept under strict control contribute to enlightening or misleading their readers? Was it eventually beneficial or compromising for the cause of the church and Catholics in France?

Indeed, it used the tools of Roman law, particularly its normative and territorial functioning. This contribution tries to identify the context in which human rights have emerged in catholic speech and in canon law. The factors and the issues contribute to understand the canon process of recognition by the Catholic Church.

Special interest will be given to the visions of Africa that these two authors had in their time: their questionings shed a new, thought-provoking light on European - African relationships. How can this history of encounters, hidden in archives, help us evaluate constantly the ones which are in our hands and which we may head one way or another? How can the views of these “revolutionary” pilgrims help the African theologian think the evangelization of the African peoples within the “Church - family of God” in a relevant manner? More precisely, isn’t the path of community personalism practical teaching for Africa where ethnic conformism – far from combining differences and opening dialogue – brings subjects to a standstill? Thinking Africa and its future with Marc Sangnier and Emmanuel Mounier reveals what others bring us in terms of humanity when we dare encounter and offer a “word”. An African reader will find both of them convincing, as they were Christian intellectuals and had a “knowledge” of Africa: as such, they also carry a message and luck. Taking it with “generosity” would be a genuine chance for Africa and today’s world

Full textBetween Maurrassism, intransigent catholicism, and the "spirit of the 1930's", the "young right" endeavoured, from 1929 to 1942, to renovate french conservative politics. Formed by a dozen reviews - reaction, les cahiers, la revue française, la revue du siècle, la revue du xxème siècle, combat, L'insurgé, Civilisation et idées - this non-organized movement was drived by a group of young and talented intellectuals, such as Thierry Maulnier, Jean de Fabregues, Maurice Blanchot, Claude Roy, Robert Brasillach, Jean-Pierre Maxence, Jacques Laurent, Jean-Francois Gravier, René Vincent and Kleber Haedens. It succeeded in mixing the ideas of Maurras, Massis and Maritain, and elaborating an original political doctrine. Antiliberal, revolutionarist, with strong socialist tendencies, this doctrine had an unquestionable influence on the debates which took place in France between the two world wars. This study tries to make clear the complexity of the historical and ideological origins of a movement that expressed the distress and confusion of the "angry young men" of the 1930's
