Eugène Veuillot

Eugène Veuillot (October 5, 1818 – September 18, 1905) was a French journalist who, alongside his brother Louis and later with his sons François and Pierre, directed the Catholic-oriented newspaper L'Univers.

[2] Twenty years earlier, they had also participated in the ventures of André Langrand-Dumonceau, a Belgian banker whose family sought to create a powerful Catholic financial institution.

A brilliant polemicist, he introduced the Ralliement to the Republic into the Catholic doctrine of "Veuillotism," as requested by Pope Leo XIII.

After the discovery of the Henry forgery in September 1898, he supported revisiting the case, distinguishing himself from La Croix while remaining faithful to Catholicism.

In L’Univers on October 10, 1899, he wrote that it was "absolutely unjust to extend to all Catholics, all priests, and all religious people the reproaches that could be justified by the attitude and language of some of them.
