La réception de l’encyclique Fidei Donum dans l’Ouest de la France (1957-2003)

Dominique Beloeil
p. 149-164

Abstracts

In 1957, the pope Pie XII publishes the encyclical letter Fidei Donum, which appeals a request publicly on behalf of the missions of Africa. In 1961, the pope Jean XXIII widens the frame of the sending in mission in the Latin America. Since then, hundreds of diocesan priests left for mission, even if the current appreciably diminished since the seventies. My research study missionaries Fidei Donum originated from the West of France since about forty years. Several ecclesiastical sources were privileged: Ordo, the Semaines Religieuses and regional catholic weeklies. Three questioning directed more particularly my researches: What are the strong times of the sending in mission in the West from 1957 till 1997? Who are the western missionaries Fidei Donum? (Previous history, age, course…) What are the destinations chosen by the western missionaries? Were there evolutions in the time? Are choices atypical with regard to the whole France?
