At the time, De Gaulle was running hard for re-election with only grudging support from the church, which quietly disapproves of both his attitude toward a united Europe and his nuclear armament of France. The day before the election, Gaullist Information Minister Alain Peyrefitte announced that if he were in office when La Religieuse was finished, he would "not hesitate" to ban it. As it turned out, Peyrefitte was not in office; the job fell to new Secretary of Information Yvon Bourges...

Others unkindly compared it to the Nazis' Volks-gemeinschaft (people's community), or to the treacly togetherness of Moral Re-Armament. Ludwig Erhard had something quite different in mind, and he spelled it out a bit more fully in last week's two-hour inaugural address to the newly elected Bundestag.
