View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:We present a brief reflection on the figure of Frédéric Ozanam (1813-1853) and his intervention in defense of Christianity and the Catholic Church in the academic debate and intellectual scene. Ozanam fought for the recognition of the heritage of Greek and Roman culture that Christianity communicated to Western society. He was also one of the pioneers of social Catholicism, particularly because of its connection to the origin of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, having sought a third way between economic liberalism and state intervention.
