Editing Jules Rimet (section)

==Early life==
Jules Rimet was born in 1873 in the commune of [[Theuley]], in the department of [[Haute-Saône]] in eastern [[France]]. His father was a grocer, and the family moved to Paris in 1884 when Jules was eleven years old. He became a lawyer, and in 1897 he started a sports club called [[Red Star Saint-Ouen|Red Star]] which, due to Rimet's ideals, did not discriminate against its members on the basis of class. One of the sports played at the club was football, which was becoming popular. When he was 17, Pope [[Leo XIII]] released his encyclical on the dignity of work, ''[[Rerum novarum]]'', which would have a profound effect on the young Catholic Rimet, and sparked his efforts to promote these views.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://catholicherald.co.uk/the-catholic-visionary-who-founded-the-world-cup/ | title=The Catholic visionary who founded the World Cup|first=Michael |last=Duggan|website=[[Catholic Herald]]| date=14 June 2018|access-date=30 January 2023}}</ref>
