Here is the English translation of the text regarding Prof. Jean-Claude Lozac'hmeur.
**Catholic fighter, defender of Breton identity, linguist, historian, and critic of Freemasonry and its influence on the French state; pictured with his book: "The Occultist Origins of Freemasonry"**
On Maundy Thursday, April 2, 2026, the Breton scholar Prof. Jean-Claude Lozac’hmeur was called home by God at the age of 86 in Saint-Malo (Breton: *Sant-Maloù*). Lozac’hmeur was a passionate fighter for the faith, a linguist, medievalist, literary critic, and essayist whose work leaves a lasting mark on the French intellectual landscape.
A Life Anchored in the Church
Born in April 1940 in Toulon, Lozac’hmeur grew up on the Île de Molène (Breton: *Molenez*) and attended the Collège of the Frères de Lamennais in Saint-Renan (Breton: *Lokournan*). His deep connection to the Church and the Holy Mass shaped his entire life. Despite the painful and prolonged crisis within the Church, he remained steadfast. Without his tireless efforts, the Holy Mass in the traditional form of the Roman Rite would not have been established with such energy in Brittany. Religious instruction and ethical issues, such as *Humanae Vitae* and the right-to-life movement, were also particularly close to his heart.
In 1961, he married and became the father of five children. By the age of 23, he passed the examination for secondary school teaching and began teaching at the Collège of Combourg (Breton: *Komborn*). In parallel, he continued his university education, notably under the supervision of Prof. Charles Foulon at the University of Rennes-II, where he later taught as a lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, and finally, a full professor.
Scientific Merits
Lozac’hmeur earned his doctorate in 1978 with the thesis *La Genèse de la légende d’Yvain: essai de synthèse* (The Genesis of the Legend of Yvain: A Synthetic Essay), supervised by Prof. Léon Fleuriot, the head of the Celtic department at Rennes II. Together, they published an anthology of Celtic poetry—alongside Léon Prat and with an introduction by Per Jakez-Elias—which remains a reference work to this day.
His further scholarly works include translations and studies of medieval texts, such as the *Chanson d’Aiquin* ("The Song of Aiquin," 1985, with Maud Ozzava) and numerous works on the Arthurian legend in cooperation with the Japanese medievalist Shigemi Sazaki. His research on King Arthur, the Holy Grail, and figures like Mabonagrain is cited in Philippe Walter's *Dictionnaire de mythologie arthurienne*.
Beyond research, Lozac’hmeur was committed to training students at Rennes II and other universities. He was a co-founder of the Faculty of Saint-Malo (Faclib), intended to offer an alternative to the ideological influence then prevailing in higher education. However, political intervention led to its closure—another point of pain in his life.
Brittany
Jean-Claude Lozac’hmeur campaigned intensively for his Breton homeland, particularly for the preservation and strengthening of Brittany's cultural identity. In his writings, he emphasized the historical independence of the region, its traditions, history, and the consciousness of a deep-rooted cultural continuity within France. He viewed Brittany not merely as a geographical space, but as a cultural community with its own distinct character, whose values and traditions should be preserved and passed on. His commitment thus went beyond simple local heritage care and was closely linked to the desire to assert regional identity against tendencies toward homogenization.
This was no easy undertaking in a France whose state doctrine since the French Revolution has been based on centralism and a uniform nation-state, which sought to erase linguistic and cultural diversity and fundamentally fought ethnic minorities, even though they are a part of France. He also recognized in this the "poisoned" Masonic influence, which he opposed.
Masonic Studies
Lozac’hmeur published numerous works on Freemasonry, which are considered carefully researched and documented. He argued that modern Freemasonry, though not directly, is based on ancient mystery cults and pursues an ideological goal: the establishment of a global state in which man becomes quasi-godlike through science and technology. His central works include:
* **Actualité de l’Apocalypse** ("The Relevance of the Apocalypse," Éditions des Cîmes)
* **De la Ré-volution – Essai sur la politique maçonnique** ("On the Re-volution – An Essay on Masonic Politics," Éditions Sainte Jeanne d’Arc)
* **Fils de la veuve – Recherches sur l’ésotérisme maçonnique** ("Son of the Widow – Research on Masonic Esotericism," Éditions de Chiré)
* **De la Gnose au Graal – Aperçu sur une tradition initiatique** ("From Gnosis to the Grail – Insights into an Initiatic Tradition," Éditions des Cîmes)
* **Les origines occultistes de la franc-maçonnerie – Recherches sur une religion d’État** ("The Occultist Origins of Freemasonry – Studies on a State Religion," Éditions des Cîmes)
All works remain available through the Catholic publisher and distributor *Livres en Famille*.
His defense of the Catholic Church, Catholic moral teaching, the right to life for unborn children, and natural law—alongside his decisive fight against Freemasonry and its influence on the French state, state doctrine, and social life—earned him the bitter enmity of his opponents. They attempted to discredit him through massive campaigns, a tactic known in German-speaking countries as the summary "fight against the right" (*Kampf gegen rechts*).
Farewell and Legacy
Jean-Claude Lozac’hmeur passed away on a symbolically significant day, Maundy Thursday. An obituary for him states: For a man deeply connected to the faith, this is a sign of the constant spiritual struggle for the Eucharist, the great mystery of God giving Himself to the faithful.
The funeral services will take place during Easter week on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 2:30 PM in his Breton home of Sant-Maloù, at the Chapel of Sainte-Anne de Saint-Servan (52 rue Jean XXIII, Saint-Malo 35400).
His work remains a testimony to a life of faith, scholarship, education, and the defense of Catholic tradition. He combined this life with the courage to contradict the official state and historical narrative and the dominant socio-political trends, pointing out suppressed aspects and offering different perspectives.
In the language of the Church and in his mother tongue:
*Requiescat in pace.*
*Ra vo e ene e peoc’h.
