Laic

The laic adjective comes from the Greek word laikos , of Laos meaning people .

Is laic that or that which does not concern the Clergé, in particular in a Christian company. The people who do not raise any belong to the Laïcat.

In the Catholic church, one indicates by the word " laïc" the people who, while belonging to the Faithful Priesthood common of the S, do not have the Responsabilité ministerial Sacerdoce.

The same adjective indicates also a company, or part of the company, which is not under the responsibility or the domination of religious clerks: one will speak about laic teaching, laic company, etc, as one could speak with the laic Moyen-âge about abbatiat for that which held in stronghold the incomes of an abbey.

The laic adjective designates a partisan or a militant of the Laïcité , i.e. of the independence of the civil society with regard to the religious institutions, and of the religious field in a general way.
