The Holy See in the face of the Rexist movement: preoccupations and hesitations ; La Santa Sede di fronte al movimento rexista: preoccupazioni e tentennamenti

The essay is based on an initial and provisional survey of the correspondence kept in the Vatican Archives between the apostolic nuncio in Brussels and the Secretariat of State.

The essay is based on an initial and provisional survey of the correspondence kept in the Vatican Archives between the apostolic nuncio in Brussels and the Secretariat of State. It shows the concerns that Léon Degrelle and the Rexist movement aroused at the Holy See due to the break-up of the political unity of Catholics, the strong attraction exerted on young people and clergy, the interference on the Flemish question, and the proximity to fascism and Nazism. Finally, it reveals the not-always-full coincidence between the positions of the Holy See and those of the Belgian ecclesiastical hierarchy, as well as the prudence and hesitations of both. ; Il saggio si basa su un primo e provvisorio sondaggio della corrispondenza tra il nunzio apostolico a Bruxelles e la Segreteria di Stato conservata negli Archivi vaticani. Mostra le preoccupazioni che Léon Degrelle e il movimento rexista suscitarono presso la Santa Sede: per la rottura dell’unità politica dei cattolici, la forte attrazione esercitata sui giovani e il clero, le interferenze sulla questione fiamminga e per la vicinanza al fascismo e al nazismo. Rivela, infine, la non sempre piena coincidenza tra le posizioni della Santa Sede e quelle della gerarchia ecclesiastica belga, oltre che le cautele e i tentennamenti di entrambe.
