 | | Jansenism, however, came into conflict with the church for its predestinarianism, for its discouragement of frequent communion for the faithful, and for its attack on the Jesuits and the new casuistry, which the Jansenists thought was demoralizing the confessional. | | | Jansenism survived as a tendency within the church, especially in France, taking the form usually of extreme scruples with regard to communion. | | | But Jansenism had no appeal to Protestants, for it held the necessity of the Roman Catholic Church for salvation and opposed justification by faith alone. |

| | Jansenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Jansenism was condemned as heretical in several papal bulls, notably by Pope Innocent X, Alexander VII (Ad Sanctam Beati Petri Sedem - Catholic Encyclopedia article) and Clement XI (Unigenitus). | | | In a highly symbolic gesture, the convent was razed in 1710 after the last nuns had been forcibly removed. | | | It was a movement within the Roman Catholic Church (16-18th Century) that sought to reestablish Augustinian thinking within Catholicism. |

| | Jansenism |
| | Though the movement in France was thus seriously damaged, in 1723 the Jansenists of the Netherlands nominated a schismatic archbishop of Utrecht as their ecclesiastical leader, and this group has maintained its existence down to the present day, becoming in the later nineteenth century part of the Old Catholic Church. | | | The theological position known as Jansenism was probably the single most divisive issue within the Roman Catholic church between the Protestant Reformation and the French Revolution. | | | From the 1640s, the spiritual center of Jansenism became the convent of Port - Royal - des - Champs (near Paris) where numerous nobles, parlementarians, and intellectuals favorable to the movement made religious retreats. |

| | Several bishops forbade it to be read, and Clement XI condemned it in a brief, July 13, 1708, which was, however, not accepted in France, because its wording and its manner of publication were not in harmony with the accepted prerogatives of the Gallican church. | | | In consequence Clement XI withdrew from the Sorbonne all the papal privileges which it possessed and attempted to deprive it of the power of conferring academic degrees. | | | To put an end to this situation several bishops under the aegis of Louis XIV himself, asked the pope to issue a bull in place of the unacceptable brief. |

| | The reason for the spread of the teachings, which we shall consider in a moment, was that Jansen's close friend and former fellow student, the Abbot of St. Cyran, had passed on the erroneous teaching to the religious community at Port Royal just outside Paris which was presided over by Mother Angelique Arnoud. | | | Jansenism is often called "Catholic Calvinism" and indeed there is some truth in this. | | | Although the background beliefs may differ, these false preachers are the spiritual heirs of the Quietists. |

| | The Foreruners of the French Revolution |
| | This heresy is known as Jansenism from the fact that its followers based their doctrine upon a treatise on St. augustine written by Jansenius, Bishop of Ypres (1585-1638), and published after his death in 1640. | | | Jansenism found its greatest stronghold at Port Royal (near Paris) where a group of highly-gifted laymen (known as Solitaires) and nuns built up on their heretical doctrines a gloomy but very influential system of education. | | | Behind that appeal, however, lurked the demon of pride, rebellion and deceit: repeated condemnations from the Holy See were met by the Jansensits with subtle attempts to justify their position and evade the stigma of heresy. |

| | Calvinism and Jansenism |
| | What Jansen himself was most directly responsible for was an exhaustive study of the doctrines of Augustine which were published post-humously in a book entitled Augustinius. | | | Indeed, as the sixteenth century began to unfold, new movements within the Catholic Church were beginning to emerge that, in terms of doctrine, had many similarities with Calvinism. | | | Not long after the death of Jansen and the publication of Augustinius, Jansenism began to form into a movement, and it wasn't long before it began to win adherents. |

| | When Jansenism was defeated, it was to be a victory not only for an orthodox doctrine of grace, but also for the entire structure of authority in the Church. | | | The conflict over Jansenism, primarily between Jansenists and the Jesuits, eventually drew the highest temporal and spiritual powers in Catholic Europe into the fray. | | | What we know of Jansen shows him to have been a thoroughly orthodox Catholic. |

| | Like Jansenism, it canonizes a particular period of the Church's tradition - here the century preceding Vatican II - as the litmus test for the authenticity of later teaching. | | | Even more than the "duped" Jansenists they were extremely useful in screening the sectarians and in securing for them, on the part of the pastors and the multitude of the faithful, the benefit either of silence or of a certain leniency. | | | Thus, they opposed the "humanism" of the Council of Trent; the then-fashionable devotions to the Blessed Sacrament, Christ's humanity, and, Mary; "easy" absolution and frequent communion ("spiritual luxury, even blasphemy"); the "laxist" moral theology of the Jesuits and the confessional handbooks; and, activities such as dancing and theater. |

| | A 17th and 18th-century school of religious thought that taught the grave heresy of predestination: that only a few people had been chosen by God for salvation and all others are predestined for Hell. | | | While Jansenism had similarities with Calvinism, Jansenism held that there was no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church. | | | It is clear from even these few examples that the black mark of "Jansenism" was applied to opinions unrelated to predestination and often supported by Scripture. |

| | A Sufficiency Of Grace |
| | And Jansenism was the source of this—to be strictly accurate, since Jansenism can hardly be said to exist before the publication of Jansen's book in 1640, those divines who supplied Mere Angelique with the spiritual requirements for her practical reform, were predisposed towards Jansenism: they were ready and waiting for it. | | | While Crichton, who deals only with the French dimension, refers to Jansen as "a heresiarch" (p41) the fact that the heresy is very difficult to specify theologically, and that it did not lead to a schism but continued as a strain within the Roman Church, makes its status as a heresy very doubtful. | | | For Jansenius the vision of God is the necessary end of human nature; hence it follows that all the primal endowments designated in theology as supernatural or preternatural, including exemption from concupiscence, were simply men's due. |

| | New Catholic Dictionary: Jansenism |
| | However, it survived in Febronianism, Josephinism, and Gallicanism. | | | Jansenius had died before his book was published, and the true promoters of Jansenism were Duvergier de Hauranne, Abbot of Saint Cyran, and the celebrated Arnauld family, notably Mere Angelique, Abbess of Port-Royal of which de Hauranne was the austere and rigorist chaplain. | | | The antics of the "Convulsionnaires" at the grave of the Deacon Paris, in the Medard Cemetery (1727-1732) threw ridicule on Jansenism and it declined in the course of the 17th century. |

| | At the same time, he brought to his warfare against Jansenism a Gallican spirit, making concessions and displays of politeness to the Holy See when the conduct of the struggle required, but on other occasions using methods and terms to which Rome, rightly impatient of Gallican pretensions, was obliged to take exception. | | | Here again, as in the matter of Jansenism, Louis evinced a great zeal for correctness of doctrine and, on the other hand, an obstinate Gallicanism ready at every moment to prosecute a doctrine apart from and without the pope, if the pope himself hesitated to proceed against it. | | | But at the time of his death he wished to assemble, for the trial of Noailles, Archbishop of Paris, and the bishops who resisted the Bull, a national council to which he was to dictate, and Clement XI, naturally, scouted this idea as bearing the marks of Gallicanism. |
