France, the 'Eldest Daughter of the Church,' Faces Secularization
Original: France, the “Eldest Daughter of the Church,” Confronts Faith and Secularization
France, long known as the 'Eldest Daughter of the Church' for its deep Catholic history, is confronting the decline of religious practice amid growing secularization. Catholic commentators are examining how a nation once central to the Church now grapples with shrinking congregations, emptying churches and debates over faith's place in public life, even as some point to signs of renewed interest among younger believers.
Why now: Ongoing debate in France over the decline of Catholicism and the role of religion in an increasingly secular society.
