Priest Daens

Taglines

Overview

In the 1890s, Father Adolf Daens goes to Aalst, a textile town where child labor is rife, pay and working conditions are horrible, the poor have no vote, and the Catholic church backs the petite bourgeoisie in oppressing workers. He writes a few columns for the Catholic paper, and soon workers are listening and the powerful are in an uproar. He's expelled from the Catholic party, so he starts the Christian Democrats and is elected to Parliament. After Rome disciplines him, he must choose between two callings, as priest and as champion of workers. In subplots, a courageous young woman falls in love with a socialist and survives a shop foreman's rape; children die; prelates play billiards.

Overview

En la localidad belga de Aalst se inicia una revuelta para protestar por las duras condiciones de los obreros de las fábricas. Cuando el religioso Adolf Daens escribe un artículo denunciando estos hechos, su repercusión es tal que no sólo acaba enfrentándose al Papa León XIII, sino también a la necesidad final de elegir entre el sacerdocio y la actividad política.
