The remaining lectures of the series will be given on April 27, 29, and May 2, 4, 6, 9, and 11. The general subject for the series is "Christianisme et Democratie: Les Questions Religieuses dans la France du XVIIIeme Siecle." The next lecture will be given next Wednesday on "Joseph de Maistre et l'Ultramontanisme."
