	Oratory of the Paraclete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierre Abélard founded the Benedictine Oratory of the Paraclete in Ferreux-Quincey, near Troyes, France, after he left the Abbey of St. Denis about 1121.
		In 1125 he was elected by the monks of the Abbey of St. Gildas, near Vannes, Brittany (in present-day France), to be their abbot, so he turned the Paraclete over to Heloise, who had been in a convent in Argenteuil since taking the veil.
		Paraclete comes from the Greek word meaning "one who consoles" and is found in the Gospel of John (16:7) as a name for the Holy Spirit, the name of the third person of the Trinity.

		When he is not deeply moved, his oratory verges towards the turgid; when he indulges feeling for its own sake, as in parts of Letters on a Regicide Peace, it becomes hysterical.
		But, in his greatest speeches and pamphlets, the passion of Burke’s mind shows itself in the luminous thoughts which it emits, in the imagery which at once moves and teaches, throwing a flood of light not only on the point in question but on the whole neighbouring sphere of man’s moral and political nature.
		But Burke combined the qualities of the orator with those of the seer, the logical architecture of western oratory with qualities which we find in the Hebrew prophets—moral exaltation, the union of dignity with trenchancy of language, vehemence, imagery that ranges from the sublime to the degrading.

	Bérulle, Pierre de - VincentWiki
		Her influence on this period of French Catholicism was enormous because of her social position, her personality and spirituality and her connections with the elite of the French religious establishment.
		The theology of the French School, while initially appealing to Vincent, and influential on him in regard to its theocentrism, it's focus on Jesus Christ, the importance of the priesthood and apostolic commitment, would have not have sat comfortably with Vincent's idea of seeing God in the face of the poor and the ordinary.
		Eventually the French School, influenced by the society of the time, effectively abandoned the poor as an icon of Jesus Christ as had previously been the case, and, along with French society, saw them as people to be marginalised.

	People and Places of The French Revolution - Joseph Fouchè
		Joseph Fouchè, Duke of Otranto, born at Nantes on the 29th of May, 1763, was one of the most remarkable men of the Revolution, and at the same time one of the most difficult to appreciate.
		He was about to be classed as a wretched scholar, when one of the tutors noticed that he preferred the most serious books, amongst others the "Pensees de Pascal." Everything was done by this sensible instructor to cultivate agreeably the disposition of one who departed from the usual groove.
		A brilliant pupil of the Oratory, - a religious order which took as active a part in the theological squabbles of the Church as in the affairs of the temporal order, - Fouchè devoted himself first to teaching, and we find him professor in the Oratory at Nantes when the Revolution breaks out.

	Champagnat Spirituality
		The French Church, ravaged by Calvinism in particular, was still subject of much of the corruption which had occasioned the Protestant Reformation in the first place – a loss of fervour, the poverty of clerical life, a failure of religious spirit which characterises almost every century, including our own.
		The Marian spirituality of the French school conforms fundamentally to the emphasis of Vatican II, which places Mary’s graces and privileges in the context of her unique relationship, as Mother of God, with the Triune God and the word Incarnate.
		There are many similarities between this strategy of the French School and the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in which recovery begins when people admit their radical powerlessness and turn their lives over to a higher power.
