Summary: "The Religious Persecution in France 1900-1906" by J. Napier Brodhead is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intense conflict between the Catholic Church and the French government during a period marked by increasing anti-clerical sentiment and legislative measures aimed at curtailing religious influence. Brodhead provides a critical examination of the events and laws from 1900 to 1906 that sought to suppress the Catholic Church in France, highlighting the broader implications of this struggle for faith and governance. The opening of the book presents Brodhead's observations from his six-year residence in France, emphasizing a pervasive misunderstanding among American observers regarding the Catholic Church's status in the country. He argues that the government's attempts to position the clergy as state functionaries, and the associated crackdown on religious education and funding, are fundamentally unjust and a violation of historical organic laws such as the Concordat. Brodhead vividly describes the duality within French society, contrasting 'neo-paganism' with Catholicism, and lays the groundwork for a discussion on the ramifications of the Associations Bill on Christian communities, underscoring the cultural and spiritual stakes of the conflict.
