This final volume of Antinon Debidour's tour de force historical survey of Church/State relations in France fills 462 pages. The 3 volume project explores the problem of separation of Chruch and State in 1906 and shows how France set an example of how a modern European and Christian nation state managed the secularization of society. Debidour was head of the history department at the University of Nancy, and was given unique access to the archives of the Ministry of Worship. His approach was in favor of the Republic, and was happily free from Royalist, Legitimist, or Ultramontane sentiments. The final divorce of Catholic Church and French State was due to Vatican and clerical intransigence. After resisting the solution for decades, those in power saw that only separation was the way forward. Debidour's work has not been surpassed.
