What was the movement of the *worker priests* (or working priests)? where was it started? what were its aims? is it still in existence?

Enrique - To my scant knowledge this Order of priest began in France pre-WW11 with the view of working directly in paying jobs factories etc: and literally being with the people.

Sadly the last two preists were asked to step down as recently as '87 thus bringing the movement to an end. Frace once being a strong Catholic country no longer holds faith as priority. Hope this helps somewhat. +Peace+
