ideas about art. After Maurras' Action française was condemned by the Pope in 1926, the Québécois organization changed its name to L'Action canadienne française (French Canadian Action) In January 1933, the journal changed its name to L'Action nationale. Esdras Minville, its new director, attempted to follow the nationalist line of Lionel-Groulx, taking for his motto "Québec d'abord!" (Quebec First!). The first issue under the new name was published in Montreal in January, 1933. However, its editorial line was slowly changed by a new generation of contributors, who took a more secularist and sovereigntist line. In 1963, L'Action nationale took over the periodical Tradition et progrès (tradition and progress). Jean-Claude Dupuis, a researcher at the Laval University in Quebec City, argues that "from the start, L'Action française made it clear that its nationalism was above all an economic nationalism." According to Dupius, the daily newspaper of the L'Action française was the most important intellectual review in Quebec in the 1920s. Moreover, he says that alongside the École sociale populaire, a Jesuit-founded organization that promoted Social Catholicism, it was "at the heart of the definition and diffusion of the ideology usually referred to as 'clerico-nationalist', but which we prefer to call by the term 'traditionalist'." Today the journal's publishers define its philosophy in these terms: "L'Action nationale is published by the Ligue d'action national with the mission of being a hub for the Quebec sovereignty movement, in which the aspirations of Quebec can be debated by the French-speaking community following a tradition of critical reflection, independence, and engagement, focusing on current events that reflect the fundamental issues of our shared future." The current director of the magazine is Robert Laplante.
