Bruckberger, l'enfant terrible
Bernadette Chovelon, Bernard Chovelon - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
Who knows what destiny holds in store for certain Churchmen, who knows what lies at the origin of their lapses, provocations or greatness? Father Raymond-Leopold Bruckberger, a Dominican, was both an emblematic and caricatural figure in his Order. He devoted his life to preaching and bearing witness to the Gospel and freedom, in environments often remote from the Church, and this in a variety of ways: meetings, sermons, many books and press columns, not forgetting the cinema ("Les Anges du péché", "Le Dialogue des carmélites"). Deeply involved in the events of history, he stood alongside General de Gaulle at the Liberation, risked his life to help members of the Resistance in hiding before taking the defence of certain wretches condemned to death for collaboration shortly afterwards, as the crowd that was about to lynch them jeered and booed his interference. How was this man, so ardent, so attached to Christ, the Church and his Order, also capable of displaying so much aggression towards the officials of the Church in France during the post-Council period, contradicting his superiors and making a public announcement of his personal shortcomings? Perhaps Léopold Bruckberger was deeply and lastingly marked by his painful childhood experiences: he was called 'Jerry' and 'enemy' in the schoolyard at Murat in 1914 because his father was Austrian. A few weeks later, he witnessed the arrest of his father who left his wife and children penniless, their existence from there on permanently assuming 'the colours of poverty'. This biography never plays down the Dominican monk's standpoints and provocative statements. But the tone of the book is respectful and understanding. Let us hope that it inspires more extensive studies about this 20th century monk, so galling yet appealing.
