Joseph Wresinski - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
"Meeting Joseph Wresinski changed my life," writes Charles Courtney, a specialist of religious questions. Thousands of people who met him still express that emotion today. Some of them followed, step by step, the way of the founder of International Movement ATD Quart Monde. Since he was a child among the poor, Father Joseph Wresinski had one conviction: that the Church, the communion of the faithful around Christ, is, by its very nature, in line with the most wretched among us. When the most despised man is forgotten, humanity is broken, the Church is absent and Christ is mocked. This book of interviews by Gilles Anouil, who was then a journalist working with the 'Réalités' group, shows how the message and actions of Father Joseph emanated from his personal life and religious vocation. "I want to bring the poor back to the Church and Church back to the poor." This is what Michel Serres has to say: "I didn't meet Father Joseph, but I read his writings attentively and I was struck, as a philosopher, by the rigour of his thinking. When one is very far from those in poverty, one expects an almost conventional discourse, what they call charitable in the newspapers. Well I was wrong! I found in his texts a mind that asked questions, with a surprising vivacity and extraordinary force, about history, the humanities, sociology, economy, politics, culture, and asked them in such a way that I now advise my students to read the writings of Father Joseph." In the prologue to the English edition of "Les Pauvres sont l'Église" Charles Courtney, Professor of the philosophy of religion who is quoted above, writes: "If you decide to read this book, you can expect to be transformed by it." "Where men are condemned to live in misery, Human rights are violated. To unite to make sure they are respected is a sacred duty." [Father Joseph Wresinski - This sentence was engraved on the stone of the Parvis des Droits de l'homme at the Trocadéro, Paris on October 17, 1987]
