Biography
Born into a wealthy and religious family. He received a Christian education at the Paris College of Stanislav (1879-1894). In 1891 he was awarded a prize at a competition in philosophy.
As a student at the Polytechnic School in Paris , he founded the Social Democratic , Catholic movement Le Sillon in 1894 with the same - minded people , whose main goal was to reform the Catholic Church, bring it closer to republican ideals, offer workers alternatives to the anti-clerical and materialistic left movements, reconcile workers and Christianity. The Le Sillon Movement published a self-titled magazine in which Sagnier proclaimed the belief that Christianity was not contrary to the ideals of the French Revolution .
In 1899, Le Sillon magazine became the organ of a broad public movement of popular education, around which the working youth and sons of noble families gathered to reconcile the working class with the Church and the Republic. Using Catholic patronage, Sangier created popular public institutions in 1901, in which public lectures were given. At the 1905 national congress, nearly a thousand districts from all over France were represented.
However, Pope Pius X issued an encyclical in November 1910, in which he condemned Le Sillon , as a result of which the movement ceased to exist.
In 1912, Sagnier founded the Ligue de la jeune République political party, whose program was Christian Socialism . He founded the newspaper "Democracy", which advocated for the equality of women's civil rights, proportional voting and the development of a real promising system of social legislation.

From 1919 to 1924 he was an independent member of the French National Assembly . He advocated social reforms, access to universal education and women's rights, and criticized the French post-war occupation of the Ruhr . Being a defender of the idea of Franco-German reconciliation, pacifist ideas led Sanya to a defeat in the elections to the National Assembly of 1929, and he decided to abandon politics.
After that, he devoted himself completely to pacifist activity.
He founded the International Democratic Peace Congress, was a pioneer in the construction of cheap youth hostels , and in 1929 the first of them was opened in Boissy la Riviere.
Since 1932 he published the magazine L'Éveil des peuples (Awakening of Peoples). During the Second World War he participated in the activities of the French Resistance , was arrested by the Gestapo , and was in prison. After the Liberation he joined the People's Republican movement .
