The Dreyfus affair intensified republican distrust of Catholicism, as the Catholic Church in France was seen as supporting the anti-Dreyfusard side. The affair also led to a deepening divide between pro-Dreyfus and anti-Dreyfus factions, but did not revive the prestige of the French army or fan the flames of French imperialism. While some anti-Semites were involved in the affair, it did not specifically drive a wedge between Catholics and anti-Semites.
