| 7 | Just before she died, this pious and naïve nun was conned by a charlatan. Léo Taxil pretended that a certain Diana Vaughan had been converted by the prayers of Joan of Arc. Thérèse was allowed to correspond with him and sent him one of Céline’s photos. Taxil called a meeting in Paris and in front of a copy of this photo revealed to his audience that he was Diana, that he had not been converted and that he had acted as he had in order to discredit the cult of Joan. |

25: St Joan: a Modern Heroine?
| 1 | Jacques Maritain, from De l’église du Christ in Oeuvres Complètes (Fribourg, Editions Universitaires, 1992), vol. 13. The subject of the Catholic revival in France, which involved the cult of Joan and in which Maritain was a central figure, requires a book in itself, for beside novelists such as Bernanos and Mauriac, poets such as Claudel and painters such as Rouault, there were historians of philosophy such as Etienne Gilson and Marie-Dominique Chenu and theologians such as Yves Congar, Jean Daniélou and Henri de Lubac. Many lived to a great age. Robert Bresson, the film director who was born in 1901, died in 1999; he was the last survivor from a remarkable epoch. |
