On July 1, 1942 the Holy Office issued a decree that the Louvainprofessor of fundamental theology René Draguet (1896-1980) had to bedeprived of his teaching. The decree did not clarify the reasons forthis sanction. Earlier on in the same year two books were placed on theIndex: M.-D. Chenu's Une École dethéologie: Le Saulchoir(1937) and L. Charlier's Essai sur le problèmethéologique(1938), while a dissertation of a Louvain doctor in theology and studentof Draguet, V. Buffon, was 'condemned' without being put onthe Index.These theologians shared a pursuit of theological renewal, eitherdirectly (e.g. by elaborating a new theory of theology) or indirectly(e.g. by introducing methodological innovations in the domain ofdoctrinal history). As both Charlier and Buffon were to a large extentdependent on Draguet's theological theory and method, the Louvainprofessor appears as the key figure of a 'Louvain school' oftheologicalrenewal that - together with the school of Le Saulchoir -was combatedvery harshly by the Holy Office in 1942. The quick succession ofcondemnations gave rise to the fear that a revival of'integrism' wastaking place against a kind of neo-modernism, labeled as nouvellethéologie.
