Description:
This book presents an authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the role of the Catholic Church in France over more than fifty years of social, political, and theological change. The impact of the changes on the role of women and the family, attitudes to sexuality, the battle over education, the participation in politics by Catholics are examined against a backdrop of dramatic political changes and in their historical context. From the 1930s to the late 1990s, from the Third Republic to Vichy to Mitterand's government to Le Pen and the National Front, from Pope Pius XI to Pope John Paul II, Catholicism is examined in action.
