- Azione Cattolica
The Azione Cattolica Italiana, or Azione Cattolica (
Catholic Action ) for short, is a widespread lay Roman Catholic association inItaly .History
In Italy in 1924, Azione Cattolica was established as a non-political lay organization under the direct control of bishops. The organization was forbidden by the Vatican to participate in politics, and thus not opposed to the
fascist regime, unlike thePartito Popolare . Vatican support for Catholic Action resulted in hundreds of thousands of Catholics withdrawing from the "Partito Popolare", and joining the apolitical Catholic Action - causing the Catholic Party's final collapse.
