Die Kennerschaft des Ehepaars Krugier- Poniatowski hat eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Sammlungen von Meisterwerken in privater Hand entstehen lassen. Unter den vielfaeltigen Aspekten kuenstlerischer Ideenverwandtschaften vereint sie Zeichnungen, Gemaelde und Skulpturen vom fruehen 15. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart.

Decisively shaped by the turbulent atmosphere of war, occupation and resistance, the years 1943-1955 gave rise to a most unusual flowering of progressive initiatives in Catholic politics, theology and apostolic missions.

This volume constitutes the first attempt to analyse the phenomenon of Western European Left Catholicism from a comparative and transnational perspective.
