Ligue de la jeune République

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ligue de la Jeune République (Young Republic League) was a French political party created in 1912 by Marc Sangnier (1873-1950), in continuation with Le Sillon, his Christian social movement which was disavowed by the Pope Pius IX (1792-1878). The Young Republic League proned a "personalist" Socialism, on the model of Emmanuel Mounier's theory of personalism.

The Abbé Pierre (1912-2007) became for a short time member of this party in the 1950s, after quitting the Christian Democrat MRP (Popular Republican Movement).
