In this seminar, we will explore the text’s depictions of the difficulties of religious life in the modern world but also how hard it is to live out a transcendent orientation in the midst of the mundane. The young priest tries to find and express grace in a world that seems to have lost any sense of it. Faced by the bitterness, world-weariness, and arrogance of his many parishioners. The novel, written as a diary of a struggling and increasingly sick cleric, is a masterpiece of French Catholic literature and provides a different lens through which to envision global Catholic literature. Bernanos’s classic novel is a powerful reflection on the trials, boredom, and grace of a priest in rural France. ![]() ![]() Join us for our June online Global Catholic Literature Seminar on Georges Bernanos’s The Diary of a Country Priest. ![]()
