«The man who has accepted once and for all the terrible presence of the divine in his poor life», this is how Bernanos defines the protagonist of his Diary of a Country Priest: this disarmed figure of a Catholic priest who consumes himself to the limit of temptation in the unequal struggle with the evil embodied by the tragic opacity of the bourgeois world of a remote village in Flanders. He must save not only himself but also the souls of his parishioners who are hostile to him, or accept him passively, dragging him into their hypocrisies. He comes almost to the point of abjuring, but just on the verge of perdition, the consciousness of near death saves him.
