With his famous pastoral letter of Christmas 1914 'Patriotisme et Endurance' he reached a wide audience, and gained international influence and respect.Mercier's distinct patriotic stance clearly determined his views of national politics, especially of the 'Flemish question', and his conflict with the Germanoccupier made him a hero of the Allies.

Belgium after the armistice Triumphal tour of the United States and Canada Conclusion Annex: Patriotism and Endurance – Christmas 1914 Bibliography Index of Persons Colophon Review Historicus Jan De Volder publiceerde een geactualiseerde versie van zijn studie over de rol van kardinaal Désiré-Joseph Mercier (1851-1926) in de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Het boek vervolledigt ons beeld van een nu wat vergeten, destijds wereldberoemde kerkvorst, op de grens tussen politiek en religie, tussen oorlog en vrede.Ludo Meyvis, Campuskrant, 21 november 2018Uit deze studie blijkt vrij duidelijk dat de plaats van Mercier in de internationale diplomatie tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog zeker niet deze was van een klein figurantje. [...] Dit uiterst goed ge­documenteerd boek (met personen­register) laat een aantal tot op heden niet ontsloten bronnen tot hun volle recht komen (Vaticaan, aartsbisdom Mechelen, archief van het Koninklijk Paleis, Rijksarchief, uitgebreide literatuurlijst). Maar niet in het minst schetst het een naar onze bescheiden mening objectief en her en der verrassend beeld van een van de grootste figuren in de Belgische geschiedenis.Alex Vanneste, Volkskunde, 2019, 2De verschillende vragen over het leven en werk van Mercier tonen echter bovenal dat De Volder in zijn opzet is geslaagd: het boek heeft een eerste aanzet gegeven om de complexe figuur van Mercier verder te onderzoeken.Kasper Swerts, Contemporanea, Jaargang XXXVIII — Jaar 2019 — Nummer 4, De internationale betekenis van deze Belgische kerkvorst verantwoordt de publicatie van een synthese in het Engels zodat dit vernieuwende onderzoek - onder meer in de Vaticaanse archieven - een ruimer internationaal bereik kan verwerven. Mercier was immers niet enkel belangrijk voor het bezette Belgische grond- gebied maar ook voor de internationale scene.Luc Vandeweyer, Belgisch Tijdschrift voor Nieuwste Geschiedenis 2019 2-3 In het korte bestek van een recensie kan nauwelijks recht worden gedaan aan drie kwaliteiten die het boek heeft. De Volder is grondig in de gedetailleerdheid waarmee hij de gebeurtenissen beschrijft. Tegelijk plaatst De Volder de gebeurtenissen soepel en effectief in hun context, niet alleen die van de grotere lijnen van het Duitse en Vaticaanse beleid, maar ook van de Belgische economische en politieke context van voor en tijdens de oorlog, en van de gevolgen van de bezetting voor het Belgische volk. En niet in de laatste plaats: het boek is voortreffelijk geschreven. Lodewijk Winkeler, BMGN — Low Countries Historical Review | Volume 135 (2020)Ungeachtet dieser kleineren Anmerkungen bietet Jan De Volders Buch einem internationalen Publikum einen anregenden Einblick in die diplomatische Strategie der Katholischen Kirche während des Ersten Weltkriegs und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Historisierung einer Symbolfigur belgischer Geschichte.Moritz A. Sorg, Historische Zeitschrift // BAND 310 / 2020, 1515/hzhz-2020-1065Door een kritische analyse van het beleid van kardinaal Mercier en Paus Benedictus XV. en als vervolg op zijn "Kardinaal Verzet, Mercier, de Kerk en de oorlog van 14-18", werpt dit boek van Jan De Volder dan ook een onthullend licht op de contrasterende standpunten van de kerkleiders tijdens de "rape of Belgium", tijdens de Grote Oorlog, nl. de Pruisische kerk-staat-verhouding, tegenover de Belgisch-liberale, fundamentele godsdienstvrijheid. [...] Zeker lezen.Stretto, november 2020Die Studie ist hervorragend dokumentiert und führt zu abgeklärten Ergebnissen, die keine einseitige Parteinahme beinhalten.
