This scientific event aims at identifying the steps that have forged the current system of funding of religion, thereby assessing their relevance to certain aspects and to identify the central elements.On one side, this meeting concentrates on the changes induced by the treaty, if the reformation takes place, the French Revolution and by the wider policy of secularization of Church property in general.

P R O G R A M M ESeminaire international Financement public des Cultes en Europe : approche historique

Dans le cadre du projet de recherche européen Religare, ce séminaire de travail est consacré aux racines historiques des différents systèmes de financement public des cultes en Europe. Il vise à identifier les différentes étapes qui ont contribué à la mise en place des systèmes aujourd’hui en vigueur: quelles ont été les étapes décisives ? En quoi peuvent-elles expliquer les modes contemporains de soutien financier aux organisations religieuses ?

La formation de ces structures sera analysée à la lumière d’évènements historiques tels que la Réforme, la Révolution française ou encore le mouvement de sécularisation des biens de l’Église, afin de saisir les éléments de rupture et de continuité de ce processus. Un deuxième aspect de ce thème de recherche s’intéresse au dévelop-pement des théories qui ont justifié et justifient encore le financement public des activités religieuses, prenant en considération les positions des autorités civiles et religieuses. En troisième lieu, trois thèmes seront évoqués par les rapports nationaux : la formation et la rémunération des ministres du culte, le financement du patrimoine culturel religieux et les media.

Ce séminaire réunit des universitaires et spécialistes des pays d’Europe membres du projet européen de recherche Religare (7ème PCRD de la Commission Européenne) : Allemagne, Belgique, Bulgarie, Danemark, France, Italie, Pays-Bas, Royaume-Uni, Turquie.

Le centre PRISME est membre d’un programme de recherche, financé par l’Union Européenne, dans le cadre du 7ème PCRD, consacré à la diversité religieuse et aux modèles de sécularisation en Europe. Le thème central de réflexion de ce programme repose sur l’idée qu’aujourd’hui, au sein de l’espace européen, se côtoient pluralisme religieux et sécu-larisation, porteurs de valeurs différentes. Cette cohabitation apparaît comme étant potentiellement source de tensions, conduisant les pouvoirs publics à intervenir, de façon diversifiée, pour réguler le fait religieux dans une société pluraliste. De là, l’objectif est d’identifier ces divergences, la pertinence des réponses apportées par les États et de formuler des recommandations à partir des résultats scientifiques réunis au cours des trois années de travail. Le programme Religare réunit 13 équipes scientifiques pendant trois ans au cours desquels diverses manifesta-tions et publications rendront compte de l’avancement et des résultats des recherches effectuées. Au sein de ce programme, Francis Messner assure la direction du groupe de travail relatif au Financement étatique des cultes et des organisations religieuses. La réflexion porte essentiellement sur la légitimité pour les Etats d’assurer un tel soutien financier dans le contexte d’aujourd’hui. Ces recherches s’ajouteront à l’étude de la pertinence des différentes méthodes de financement afin de se situer dans la perspective de nouveaux modèles possibles.
