Résumé anglais Emile Poulat : Religious society and the problem of change. The recent changes which have occurred in the catholic church are not a mere structural evolution. A methodological reflexion is necessary to distinguish the criteria of change, as well as the types of change (adaptation, development, mutation). This reveals the changing factors: relation systems, institutions, beliefs and representations, lastly the degree of sensibility. The changes now undergone by Catholicism formalize aspirations up to now regarded as suspect. But also the implications of the present changes can themselves be a generative factor for further transformations, involving elements considered as intangible.
