Talk:Catholic Action

Italy
This section seems rather odd: "Catholic Action was particularly well suited to Italy where Catholic party politcal action was impractical firstly under the Anti-Clerical Savoyard regime from 1870 until about 1910 and then under the Fascist regime."

In what sense did a Sabaudian regime begin in 1870? In what sense did it end around 1910? Why did Catholic Action become less well suited to the country between 1910(ish) and 1922? How does this tie in with the referenced article stating that Azione Cattolica was not established until 1924? I cannot make sense of any of this and think that the section should be deleted unless it is clarified. —Ian Spackman 21:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

This page needs a lot of work!
Catholic Action was a very broad-based, influential movement / ideology, larger than any of its institutional manifestations. It was connected, paradoxically, both to Fascism / Integralism on the Right and to the Young Christian Workers (JOC)'s "see, judge, act" model and Liberation Theology on the Left. 64.61.60.146 (talk) 21:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * There is no paradox: the base was involved in left-wing movements, the ruling clergy was connected with fascism.

Catholic Action still exists! We were 100.000 in the last national meeting in Rome! So why "Catholic Action was..."? --Antares93 (talk) 06:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Relationship with La Croix?
We seem to have some cross-linking confusion here. I've added this comment to the La Croix Talk page. jxm (talk) 14:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
