Summary The author discusses the role of French Catholicism in the internal and foreign affairs of modern France, with a detailed examination of French Catholic groups and their effect on temporal life. Presenting a wealth of material from official archives and files of French Catholic periodicals and organizations, Mr. Bosworth supplements his research by direct interviews with key personnel from a variety of Catholic groups.
