Between 1890 and 1910 the Roman Catholic Church underwent a severe moral and intellectual crisis. A group of progressive Catholic scholars, later dubbed the 'modernists', challenged the authority of official Catholic teaching in many areas, basing their ideas on contemporary movements generally. The official reaction was at first discouraging and then openly hostile - most of the modernists were forced to leave the Church and their writings were placed in the Index. As one might expect, the accounts of the crisis by those who were closely involved in it are generally strongly partisan; moreover, its effects are still evident in present disputes in the Church but in 1972 the time came for an objective historical assessment of the major figures of the crisis as a means for understanding the movement as a whole. In this authoritative study Dr Barmann reconstructs in detail von Hugel's involvement in the modernist movement, particularly in England and rejects the received explanations of his survival in the Church.
Excerpt from Recent French Tendencies From Renan to Claudel: A Study in French Religion Which nobody could accuse Huxley, who loved to dance upon the bodies of his episcopal victims, like a scientific Dr. Hyde. In France at the beginning of the century we find a Splendid rebel like Lamennais, at the end only a tawdry rebel like Renan It is like the difference between a fallen archangel and a dis respectful Parisian gamin. But in those twenty years which closed the century the shadow of Renan lay over the intellectual life of the country and, unlike the shadow of Peter which cured, the Shadow of Renan was like a blight on everything it 7 touched: on religion, on patriotism, and on the belief in good.
