Résumé
--
On the 11 November 1611, six priests, including Cardinal Pierre de Bérulle, found themselves at the Hôtel du Petit-Bourbon, on the site of the current church of the Val-de-Grâce in Paris, for Vespers, the founding act of the Oratoire de France, which had been created to canonize priests and renew Catholicism. Thus was born the 'little congregation', as its founder like to call it. Four hundred years later, this event was commemorated from 10 to 13 November 2011, at the Church of Saint Eustace in Paris. This book echoes the conferences and talks that marked this occasion. The history of the Oratoire was, throughout those four centuries, intimately linked to the history of religion and, by way of its colleges, to the history of education, as well as that of France itself. The still very pertinent and abundant wealth of its founding inspiration has enabled it to develop a highly original spirituality, focused entirely on Christ, as well as a pastoral sensibility that is especially remarkable for its humility, faith in fellow men and the rejection of any form of triumphalism. The preface by Dominique Julia, one of the current masters of both religious and educational history, is followed by three presentations of the former Oratoire, retracing its creation and its place in the French culture of its time. We can also read accounts by contemporary Oratorians, as well as a transcription of a round table on the critical question: 'Why priests?' All this is augmented by several texts by Bérulle and Oratorians of yesteryear (Massillon, Malebranche) and today (Angénieux, Dabosville).
