Expulsion Catholic Religion Coupling Isadora

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the expulsion of seminarists from the grand seminaire of Saint Sulpice in Paris on December 14, 1906. This event was a direct result of the 1905 French law on the Separation of Churches and State, which aimed to establish a clear divide between religious institutions and government. In this image, we see seminarists (seminarians) leaving the theological college of St Sulpice, their faces filled with determination and resolve. The symbolism is striking as they carry crosses, representing their unwavering faith even in the face of adversity. The Law of separation of church and state marked a turning point in French history, challenging centuries-old traditions and sparking debates about religious freedom and secularism. The expulsion depicted here serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding religion and politics. As we reflect on this historical moment captured in black-and-white, we are reminded that the struggle for balance between church and state is ongoing. This postcard from early twentieth-century France stands as a testament to those who stood up for their beliefs amidst changing times.
