Life
Henri Deroche was born on April 12, 1914 in Roanne, France. He attended the College of Saint-Pierre before entering the seminary in the Diocese of Lyon. He joined the Dominican Order in Angers in October 1934. There he took the name Henri-Charles and added “s” to his surname (Desroches = Drochet ). After completing his theological studies in Chambery, he was ordained a priest in Annecy in July 1936.
For his 1949 book, The Meaning of Marxism, written from the perspective of a dialogue between believers and communists (forbidden by the then Pope Pius XII), he was persecuted in the church hierarchy. The demands from the episcopate to the author to condemn his book became an occasion for him to leave the priesthood in 1950. He devoted the rest of his life to the study of the history of cooperative and utopian-socialist movements. On September 30, 1977, Derosh received an honorary doctorate from the Department of Theology at Uppsala University , Sweden . [2]
