| Summary: | As soon as it was reestablished in 1837, the Bollandist Society received an annual subsidy from the Belgian government: it was a "national" high-quality work. But very soon, voices were raised, particularly within the liberal political world, against this subsidy: was it necessary for the government to support such a Jesuit-run enterprise? Often called into question, the grant was finally abol-ished in 1869. Though costing the state very little, this affair reflected, among other things, the opposition between the two major political tendencies of the time - Catholics and Liberals -, which, over the decades, put an end to the unionism of 1830. Not to mention the "fear of the Jesuits". Dès sa reconstitution en 1837, la Société des Bollandistes reçut un subside annuel de la part du gouvernement belge: c'était une oeuvre "nationale" et de qualité. Mais très tôt, des voix s'élevèrent, en particulier au sein du monde poli-tique libéral, contre cette subvention: fallait-il que le gouvernement subsidie une telle entreprise dirigée par les Jésuites ? Souvent remise en question, cette allocation fut finalement supprimée en 1869. Mais derrière cette affaire - somme toute peu coû-teuse pour l'État - s'exprimait, entre autres, l'opposition entre les deux grandes ten-dances politiques du moment - catholiques et libéraux - qui, au fil des décennies, mirent fin à l'unionisme de 1830. Sans oublier la "peur des Jésuites". |
