The '''Young Republic League''' ({{langx|fr|Ligue de la jeune république}}, '''LJR''') was a French political party created in 1912 by [[Marc Sangnier]]. It was a continuation of ''[[Le Sillon]]'', Sangnier's [[Christian socialism|Christian social movement]] which [[Pope Pius X]] (1835–1914) had intervened to close in 1910.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Von Hildebrand |first=Dietrich |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lNsiDQAAQBAJ&dq=%22Young+Republic+League%22+-wikipedia+marc+sangnier&pg=PA23 |title=My battle against Hitler: faith, truth, and defiance in the shadow of the Third Reich |date=2014 |publisher=Image |isbn=978-0-385-34751-8 |location=New York (N.Y.) |pages=23}}</ref> The LJR supported [[personalist]] socialism on the model of [[Emmanuel Mounier]]'s theory of personalism.
The [[Abbé Pierre]] was a member of the party for a short time after leaving the [[Popular Republican Movement|MRP]]. Members of the LJR later joined the [[Union of the Socialist Left]], the first movement that included both [[Marxists]] and [[Social Christians]].
