The ¡®hour of religion¡¯ works as an arrangement, not limited to classrooms, that involves practices of control across State schools and ecclesiastic administrative bodies. The school¡¯s management of this arrangement leads to practical negotiations between teachers and personnel, related to its legitimization as a subject of ¡®religious culture¡¯. However, bureaucratic rationalization also occurs in Church dioceses, through the management of human resources and periodic checks of teachers¡¯ ¡®proofs¡¯ of faith. Catholic religious education appears then as a case study of the informal, hybrid regulation of religion in the ¡®grey areas¡¯ of State institutions %K bureaucracy %K division of religious labor %K institution %K professionalization %K regime of truth %K bureaucratie %K division du travail religieux %K institution %K professionnalisation %K r¨¦gime de v¨¦rit¨¦ %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0037768619833311
