Le Correspondant

Le Correspondent was a French Catholic review, founded in March 1829 by Louis de Carné, Edmond de Cazalès, and Camille-Augustin de Meaux. The motto of this moderately royalist Catholic review was "Liberté civile et religieuse par tout l’univers" ("Civil and religious liberty throughout the universe"). Publication ceased in 1831 but was revived in 1843 as a monthly review under the direction of Edmond Wilson and Victor-Amédée Waille (1798–1876). Jean Luglien de Jouenne d'Esgrigny was one of its initial shareholders.

After a period of dormancy, it was relaunched in 1855 by Charles de Montalembert as a Catholic opposition organ to the Second Empire and the journal L'Univers by Louis Veuillot. Le Correspondent became a platform for liberal Catholics and moderate royalists concerned about the almost complete alignment of the French Church with imperial authority and opposed to reactionary theories promoted by the pontifical authorities.
