Erin Ogunkeye is pleased to welcome Miles Pattenden, historian of the Catholic Church at the University of Oxford.

France is especially significant in this regard, given its deep historical relationship with Catholicism and its evolving relationship with Christianity, European identity, secularism and contemporary geopolitical debates.
