N2 - In this article I explore the relationship between the secular and 'cultural' Catholicism in France through the lens of a contemporary art exhibit displayed at a new project of the French Catholic Church. Visitors' varied responses to the exhibit, I argue, ultimately reinforced the organizers' claim that the activities that occur within this 'non-religious' space of the French church are self-evident aspects of a broadly recognizable and 'secular' French or European culture.
