Élection présidentielle : chez les laïcs, la tentation du spectateur

In brief

Clément Barré writes that lay Catholics face a temptation to act merely as spectators during presidential elections.

In a column for Aleteia, Barré suggests that while the Church hierarchy in France may face its own institutional temptations, the faithful often respond with a symmetrical tendency to remain passive observers. He notes that this detachment occurs as believers watch political developments rather than engaging actively in civic life.
