Le Pèlerin du 20e siècle: The influence of the Vatican II Council and the Catholic call to modernise - 2025.
26
The weekly publication Le Pèlerin was the most popular title of the publishing house La Bonne Press, that was owned by the congregation of the Augustinians of the Assumption. Between 1962 and 1965, this title, which became Le Pèlerin du 20e siècle in February 1963, promoted the Second Vatican Council by presenting it as a response to major contemporary changes. An analysis of the editorial and journalistic content at this time highlights how discourses and representations were leveraged to encourage Catholics to accept Council’s reform process and how the need to change and accept “modernisation” was imposed on them as a religious duty.
