This issue explores the new forms of Catholic social commitment in the post-war period, from the perspective of the actors involved. Through case studies from several national contexts and different sectors of healthcare, social services and education, it highlights the coexistence of a variety of actors – charities, public and private parties, lay and religious, men and women, professionals, activists and volunteers – and multiple strategies for articulating religious values in welfare work. Addressing major transformations such as secularisation, and the professionalisation of assistance, this collection of articles complicates the binary oppositions between charity and activism, between professionals and volunteers, in order to highlight the various forms of religious commitment that flourished in Catholic welfare and contributed to the profound changes in society in the second half of the twentieth century. 03 Rather than leading to the disappearance of Catholic charities, these developments have led Catholic actors to adapt to a new range of methods, new needs, new audiences, and new sources of funding – as well as to new spiritual incentives and religious meanings attached to commitment.

It focuses on the religious phenomenon in its entirety, both through ancient and contemporary expressions, as through intellectual or popular ones. The journal concomitantly integrates, besides the domain of religious studies, the various forms of freethinking, secularism, and freemasonry. 44 Dans la lignée des recherches menées et des enseignements dispensés à l'Université libre de Bruxelles, la revue propose une approche non confessionnelle des religions, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire (histoire, philosophie, philologie, anthropologie, sociologie...). Elle s'intéresse au phénomène religieux considéré dans son ensemble, dans ses expressions tant anciennes que contemporaines, et tant intellectuelles que populaires. Elle intègre, tout autant que le domaine des sciences des religions, les diverses formes de pensées libres, la laïcité et la franc-maçonnerie. 99 BE 06 03 01 https://www.editions-ulb.be/resources/titles/74530100060370/images/fb89705ae6d743bf1e848c206e16a1d7/HIGHQ/9782800419343.jpg 20260113 07 03 01 https://www.editions-ulb.be/resources/titles/74530100060370/images/fb89705ae6d743bf1e848c206e16a1d7/THUMBNAIL/9782800419343.jpg 20260113 02 https://www.editions-ulb.be/en/book/?GCOI=74530100060370 Éditions de l'Université de Bruxelles 01 Éditions de l'Université de Bruxelles Bruxelles BE 02 20260205 713 2026
