Charles de gaulle chretien, homme d'etat
Fonda Charles Gau. - Collection Histoire
Résumé
--
The faith of a believer is entirely subjective and the historian is not always in the best position to understand it. In the case of General de Gaulle, this problem is particularly acute. De Gaulle communicated little about his religious beliefs, no doubt out of discretion. The testimonies of those who knew and frequented him, and his public and private writings, reveal precious indications on the General's faith. Far removed from the caricatures that later made him appear as a disciple of Charles Maurras and the Action française, the young Charles de Gaulle was brought up in a traditional and open Catholicism. He was to remain faithful to this education all through his life. In this sense, De Gaulle was incontestably a believer and a practicing Catholic. Two simple questions emerge: did his faith and his religious practice influence certain decisions he had to take at the Liberation, or during the 5th Republic? How did De Gaulle act as a Head of State and a Christian, if not as a 'Christian Head of State? To answer them, the Fondation Charles de Gaulle invited specialists of religious history, as well as political historians. Their contributions show that De Gaulle thinks and acts like a lay Catholic, faithful to the Republican ideal and to the conciliar teaching.
