Résumé
--
To discover Mgr René Barbier de la Serre is to discover an engaged spectator who lived through all the radical changes in the life of the Church and our nations during the 20th century. He is not one of history's major actors but he is a presence in the political, intellectual, social and religious environment of the Church to which he devoted his whole life. This biography runs against the grain of most works about the relation between education and Christianity, because René Barbier de la Serre was a vanquished man. Vanquished by the Republic, secularity, Vatican II - he made all the wrong choices: against Loisy, against modernism, against Le Sillon. Fundamentally a mystic, but also a man of action, he possessed an innovating sensitivity, whether in the domain of physical education, sport, the Scouts, Catholic Action or the chaplaincy of Guides de France. On the other hand, his conservatism was clearly visible on questions of the family, school and social policy. René Barbier de la Serre's project for education was set within a global vision - but not always a coherent one - of the society that gave it meaning and values. Because of this, his work carries a triple tension inherent to the times he lived in: tension between Christian universalism and national identity tension between classic teaching methods and new education lastly, tension between a complete, explicitly Christian education and the limits and obstacles that a secularized and post-conciliar society imposes, and whose excesses he feared. This book is less a biography than a case-study, one of the most instructive for the science of education. The author brings us a unique portrait of this paradoxical character, humble, likeable and emblematic in his contradictions regarding questions of education.
