John Dalberg Acton, a German-educated historian, rose to prominence in late Victorian England is an editor of The Rambler and a leader of the Liberal Catholic Movement. His struggle against Ultramontanism reached its climax at the Vatican Council, 1869-1870, which endorsed the dogma of Papal Infallibility and effectively ended the Liberal Catholic Movement. Acton's position on the Vatican Decrees remained equivocal until the Gladstone controversy of 1874 forced him to take a stand, but even his statement of submission failed to satisfy some Ultramontanists. This study, based largely on Acton's published letters and essays, concludes that obedience to Rome did not contradict his advocacy of freedom of conscience, which also placed limits on Papal Infallibility.

Ce travail cherche à interroger les évolutions portées par les jeunes (14-25 ans) de deux mouvements de jeunesse d'Action catholique spécialisée en parallèle durant les années 1968 et au-delà. Si l'historiographie associe classiquement le changement social des enjeux du genre et de l'intime de cette période aux acteurs sociaux que furent les étudiants ainsi qu'au phénomène de la sécularisation, cette étude veut renouveler le champ en se penchant sur les jeunes de mouvements confessionnels, qui se pense de surcroît à destination des milieux populaires. Nées dans l'entre-deux-guerres sur une ligne intransigeante de reconquête morale et chrétienne des ouvriers, JOCF et JOC deviennent des acteurs paradoxaux mais réels des évolutions de genre dans la société française des Trente Glorieuses. Ils représentent une voie moyenne du changement social en cherchant un positionnement ecclésial et social original en accord à la double injonction chrétienne et militante de l'identité de leur mouvement. La mise en mixité en mouvement, les débats sur l'égalité entre les sexes à l'école, dans le travail ou dans la société de même que les questions d'émancipation sexuelle constituent un bon observatoire historique de l'évolution d'un genre militant ouvrier chrétien. Alors que le catholicisme abandonne progressivement comme forme prioritaire d'insertion dans la société un laïcat d'Action catholique spécialisée à partir des années 1970, cette histoire est aussi celle des conséquences de la sécularisation sur un mouvement confessionnel. L'éclatement du sens, l'aménagement d'un pluralisme pratique, la recherche d'une autonomie témoignent des tensions qui traversent le catholicisme français contemporain depuis les années 1980 sur les questions du genre et de l'intime dans le très contemporain. / This works aims to question the evolutions brought by young people aged 14 to 25 in two mouvements of Specialized Catholic Action in 1960s France. Historiography makes a link between social changements in gender or intimacy issues during this time and students as social actors and the phenomenon of secularization, however, this study would like to renew the field by focusing on the young people in a religious mouvements aimed at the working class. Born in the interwar period on a line of uncompromising moral and Christian reconquest of the workers, YWCs became unexpected but real actors of gender evolutions in French society of the postwar boom. The mouvements represent a middle way of social change by seeking an original ecclesial and social position in accordance with the double injunction of a Christian and social activist movement. The beginning of the coeducation, debates on gender equality in schools, at work or in society, as well as matters of sexual emancipation are a good historic observatory of the evolution on gender. While Catholicism gradually abandoned as a primary form insertion into society as a lay specialized Catholic Action from the 1970s, this history is also that of the consequences of secularization on a denominational movement. The bursting of meaning, the development of a practical pluralism, the search for autonomy reflect the tensions in contemporary French Catholicism since the 1980s on issues of gender and intimacy in the very contemporary.
