Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire war ein französischer Dominikaner und Kanzelredner des 19. Jahrhunderts, der vor allem an der Kathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris wirkte. Er stellte den aufgelösten Dominikanerorden in Frankreich wieder her und trat publizistisch für bürgerliche Freiheitsrechte sowie die Vereinbarkeit von katholischem Glauben und moderner Gesellschaft ein. Heutigen Bibellesern verdeutlicht sein Wirken das Spannungsfeld zwischen kirchlicher Bindung und dem Engagement für Gewissensfreiheit und soziale Gerechtigkeit.
