history

The canon Joseph Schorderet founded the newspaper with the aim of defending the politics of the Roman Catholic Church in the culture war against liberal tendencies. La Liberté is still printed and produced by the Pauluswerk of the Paulus Sisters (Œuvre de Saint-Paul) in Freiburg, which was founded in accordance with the press apostolate . The editorial office, based in an Art Nouveau building on Boulevard de Pérolles, counted numerous priests among its members until 1965. Until after the Second World War , the newspaper took a strictly Catholic-conservative stance. From 1970 onwards a cautious opening to more liberal and critical positions began. In 2014, the Pauluswerk opened a third of the shareholders due to a lack of young talent. Since then, the Freiburger Kantonalbank and the largely state-owned energy group Groupe E have each owned 15% . Together they form Sofripa SA
