    "description": "In the last quarter of the 19th century, as Western power enveloped the globe \"in a fit of absence of mind\", European politics became world politics. The age of imperialism coincided with the pontificate of Leo XIII. Would the papacy live up to the historical challenge implicit in this new world order and turn itself into \"the Director-general of the Humanitarian forces of the world\"? The internationalisation of the Catholic masses since the middle of the 19th century suggested it could. In the present volume, an international team of 20 scholars examines the triangle between Vatican diplomacy, public opinion and the international environment. They invite us to reassess the significance of Leo's pontificate: in a time when empires became more than ever the motors of globalisation, the most imperial among the empires of the spirit could not fail to claim its place.\r\n\r\nDans le dernier quart du XIXe si\u00e8cle, tandis que la puissance occidentale s'\u00e9tendait \u00e0 l'ensemble du globe, la politique europ\u00e9enne se transforma en politique mondiale. L'\u00e8re de l'imp\u00e9rialisme co\u00efncida avec le pontificat de L\u00e9on XIII. La papaut\u00e9 allait-elle relever le d\u00e9fi historique inh\u00e9rent \u00e0 ce nouvel ordre mondial et devenir elle-m\u00eame \"le Directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des forces humanitaires du monde\"? L'internationalisation des masses catholiques depuis le milieu du XIXe si\u00e8cle semblait le pr\u00e9sager. Dans ce volume, une \u00e9quipe internationale de 20 chercheurs \u00e9tudie le triangle form\u00e9 par la diplomatie vaticane, l'opinion publique et l'environnement international. Ils nous invitent \u00e0 r\u00e9-\u00e9valuer l'importance du pontificat de L\u00e9on XIII : \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 les empires devinrent plus que jamais les moteurs de la mondialisation, le plus imp\u00e9rial des empires de l'esprit ne pouvait manquer de revendiquer sa place.\r\n",
