In the News (Thu 23 May 13)

  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Guillaume Dubois
Owing to his humble birth, his stanch opposition to Jansenism, and his bold reversal of the aristocratic regime prevalent under Louis XIV, Dubois was disliked by the noblemen of his day.
In so far as Dubois was concerned, it was the best way of serving the interests of France and counteracting the intrigues of Alberoni.
That Dubois was not set against the natural amity between France and Spain was shown later, when, after Alberoni's fall and the restoration of peace, he successfully negotiated the treaty of 1721 and the

  Guillaume Dubois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guillaume Dubois (September 6, 1656 – August 10, 1723) was a French cardinal and statesman.
When the duke of Orléans became regent (1715) Dubois, who had for some years acted as his secretary, was made councillor of state, and the chief power passed gradually into his hands.
Dubois was unscrupulous, but so were his contemporaries, and whatever vices he had, he gave France peace after the disastrous wars of Louis XIV.

The son of a country doctor, Dubois studied for the priesthood before serving as tutor to the children of nobles who lived at the court of King Louis XIV.
Capable and unscrupulous, Dubois devoted himself to promoting the dynastic interests of Orléans, whose claim to the succession to the crown of the sickly Louis XV was disputed by a rival claimant, King Philip V of Spain, a grandson of Louis XIV.
The result was the Franco-Spanish treaty of March 1721 and the betrothal of Louis XV to the infanta Mariana, daughter of Philip V. At the same time, Dubois remained faithful to the British alliance.

The Dubois collection was one of the various large and encyclopedic collections sold in Holland during the first half of the 18th century.
During the reign of Philippe d'Orléans, Dubois made a fast carreer from state councillor (1716), secretary of foreign affairs (1717), archbishop of Cambrai (1720), cardinal and surintendant des postes (1721), to member of the Conseil de régence, and soon after, ministre principal (1722).

ET, veteran actor and author ("Guillaume: A Life") Robert Guillaume makes his first guest appearance on ABC's freshman sitcom "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter," starring John Ritter as a beleaguered father, but the experience was in many ways very familiar.
Asked how he came to be on the show, Guillaume says, "Well, I guess it must have been John, because we'd worked together in the '70s, because we were both on ABC at the time.
Guillaume describes his character as "Benson revisited," and there's even a tenuous connection between Guillaume and Priestley.

Robert Guillaume resumed the title role in the new series joining a new cast of characters and moving from the home of a wealthy (if utterly absurd) family to a butler's position in a governor's mansion.
And although Robert Guillaume was nominated several times for an Emmy Award for Best Leading Actor, he won only in the category of Best Supporting Actor for his work in Soap.
While the producers and writers of the show worked consciously with Benson's character in light of the strides in civil rights that were made in the previous decades, they still chose to use the stereotype of the Black servant.

Guillaume Dubois (September 6, 1656 - August 10, 1723), French cardinal and statesman, was born at Brive, in Limousin.

At this time, therefore, these barons and knights first began to transmit their family names, as well as their lands, to their posterity, and the name of an estate, inherited or acquired by marriage, was generally affixed to the original surname to distinguish the different branches of the same family.
He traces one of its branches, namely, that of "duBois duBais," from 1066 (at which time it was an old family), down to the present century, by regular descent from father to son, the original patronymic being unchanged throughout.
Louis and Jacques duBois, will be found battling on the side of patriotism, intelligence and religious freedom, against ignorance, superstition and demagogism upheld by the subtle craft and wily politics of Rome.
