Abstract
When Pius XI condemned coeducation in the encyclical “Divini Illius Magistri” in 1929, he echoed over half a century of anxious Catholic rhetoric about the moral, social, and political dangers of mixing the sexes in school, especially at the secondary level. Yet by the time of this encyclical, predominantly Catholic countries had adopted widely differing practices with regard to mixed schooling. This essay explores the interplay of rhetoric about and realities of coeducation in such countries, with particular focus on France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, and Ireland.
