Parti Démocrate Populaire
The Popular Democratic Party (, PDP) was a Christian democratic political party in France during the Third Republic. Founded in 1924, it represented the trend of French social Catholicism, while remaining a party embodying the ideology of centrism. The party's ideology was inspired by the popularism of Luigi Sturzo's Italian People's Party. The PDP was a co-founder in 1925 of the International Secretariat of Democratic Parties of Christian Inspiration (SIPDIC). The PDP had its roots in French Catholicism and various Christian movements inspired by Hugues Felicité Robert de Lamennais and later continued by Marc Sangnier's ''Le Sillon'', the Young Republic League and the Popular Liberal Action (ALP), the party of republican Catholics founded in 1902 and dissolved in 1919. History Foundation The creation of the PDP has its premises in the context of the immediate post-war, the reintegration of Catholics in the nation by the wartime ''Union sacrée'' and the involvement of Catho ...

Young Republic League
The Young Republic League (, LJR) was a French political party created in 1912 by Marc Sangnier. It was a continuation of '' Le Sillon'', Sangnier's Christian social movement which Pope Pius X (1835–1914) had intervened to close in 1910.

Members of the LJR later joined the Union of the Socialist Left, the first movement that included both Marxists and Social Christians.

Anti-clerical
Anti-clericalism is opposition to religious authority, typically in social or political matters. Historically, anti-clericalism in Christian traditions has been opposed to the influence of Catholicism. Anti-clericalism is related to secularism, which seeks to separate the church from public and political life. Some have opposed clergy on the basis of moral corruption, institutional issues and/or disagreements in religious interpretation, such as during the Protestant Reformation. Anti-clericalism became extremely violent during the French Revolution, because revolutionaries claimed the church played a pivotal role in the systems of oppression which led to it. Many clerics were killed, and French revolutionary governments tried to put priests under the control of the state by making them employees. Anti-clericalism appeared in Catholic Europe throughout the 19th century, in various forms, and later in Canada, Cuba, and Latin America. According to the Pew Research Center several ...
