French Worker Priests and the Little Brothers of de Foucauld
Summary: Discusses the differences and similarities of the ‘Worker Priests’ of France and the Little Brothers of Jesus. Explains the Church’s condemnation the Jeunesse de L’Eglise movement, linked to some worker priests, which advocated a close a association between Marxism and Catholicism, but is distraught at the Church’s inconsistency in not condemning those priests who are closely linked to capitalism. Sees the present day scandal of the Church as an imbalance between spiritual and material works. (DDLW #174) The Catholic Worker, Mar 1954, pp. 2, 4
