Abstract
In the sixties, new fields appeared in the Humanities. The new mentors were Marx, Nietzsche, Freud and Lévi-Strauss. But how were the latest innovations to be accepted without their destructive dimension for faith and churches? The Society of Jesus wanted to convert them to Christianity. Jesuits participated into the most innovative trend and invented a Jesuit way of pursuing the Humanities but failed to Catholicise them.
