and is it possible maybe that someone can copy and translate this article into the german wikipedia? - this would be very nice - Thank you

Fr Alfred Loisy did NOT come into conflict with the so-called Church conservatives, but rather, was found in decent of the Church's orthodox beliefs and teachings. In addition, according to Loisy own personal writings, he suffered from no faith in the Christian religion and the divinity of Christ.

My Encyclopedia has an extensive article on Loisy. I think it gives a better sense of his thought than this and I'll paraphrase parts of it.--T. Anthony 05:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Anyway you're right. From what I'd always read it wasn't some intense reactionary group that went against him. His ideas would be unacceptable to today's Church as well. I might check other sources on this in case that one is seen as biased.--T. Anthony 06:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translation of Loisy's "most famous observation"

I've refined the translation of "Jésus annonçait le Royaume et c'est l'Église qui est venue’". My rationale:

  • 'annoncer' is translated better in this context by 'preach'; Harrap gives 'preach the Gospel' for 'annoncer l'Evangile'.
  • 'et c'est l'Église qui est venue’ is translated by 'what arrived was the Church' to express the force of 'et c'est', which is not captured by 'and it was'.
