About this title

Synopsis

Explores how Catholic social teaching reshaped French politics and policy.

This scholarly study traces the rise of Social Catholic ideas and shows how they influenced a major liberal party, leading to practical reforms and a new political synthesis.

The book examines the path from early Catholic social thought to concrete programs, such as welfare, labor legislation, and industrial organization. It highlights key figures, debates, and the shift from opposition to active engagement in shaping policy.

• How Social Catholicism moved from critique to program within French liberal politics
• The formation and evolution of the Popular Liberal Party and its reform agenda
• Connections between Catholic social ideas and concrete measures like trade unions, pensions, and industrial codes
• A historical look at the collaborations and tensions within movements across the political spectrum

Ideal for readers of political history, religious movements, and the development of social reform in early 20th-century France.
