Kulturkampf

Kulturkampf adalah penindasan umat Katolik di Jerman pada akhir abad ke-19. Gerakan ini dilakukan oleh Otto von Bismarck yang takut pada pengaruh gereja Katolik Roma yang akan memecah belah kesatuan Kekaisaran Jerman. Para Yesuit diusir keluar Jerman dan sekolah-sekolah gereja dinegerikan. Ada beberapa uskup dan kardinal yang dipenjarakan, Gereja Katolik Roma kehilangan semua bantuan finansial dari pemerintah dan semua anggota serikat diusir dari Jerman. Tetapi ketika Bismarck ingin mengalahkan Partai Sosial Demokrasi ia justru meminta bantuan dari Gereja Katolik Roma, dan hal ini menyebabkan adanya perdamaian dengan Paus Leo XIII. Pada tahun 1887, peraturan yang melawan Gereja Katolik Roma dihapuskan, tetapi serikat Yesuit tetap diusir.
