| Summary: | Strasbourg in the 1820's was the site for the formation of a circle of religious seekers who gathered around the philosopher Louis Eugène-Marie Bautain. This group, which included Jews as well as Catholics, encouraged for a time the Jewish members to practice their religion and serve their community, "to become good Jews" in the words of Bautain. Although the Jewish members, including Théodore Ratisbonne, the founder of the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion, ultimately were baptized and ordained as Catholic priests, the exchanges in the circle, as recorded in Bautain's Philosophie du christianisme (1835), suggest the potential for a more tolerant attitude on the part of Catholics, one that respected the religious value of Judaism and the religious liberty of Jews. |
