	Jansenism - MSN Encarta
		Jansenism, in Roman Catholic church history, a movement of religious reform especially important in 17th- and 18th-century France.
		As Jansenism was taught in France, especially by Jansen's friend Jean Duvergier de Hauranne, known as the Abbé of Saint-Cyran, it also entailed an austere form of piety and a strict rigoristic morality.
		Beginning in the 1640s, the spiritual center of Jansenism was the convent of Port-Royal-des-Champs near Paris, where numerous nobles, royal judges, and intellectuals sympathetic to the movement made religious retreats.

	Jansenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jansenism was a branch of Catholic thought tracing itself back to Cornelius Otto Jansen (1585 – 1638), a Flemish theologian.
		Jansenism was associated with the convent of Port-Royal, which operated a number of famous schools that educated Racine amongst others, and by the books of Pasquier Quesnel.
		Jansenism emphasized original sin, human depravity, the necessity of divine grace, and predestination.

		Besides, "Jansenism" was beginning to serve as a label for rather divergent tendencies, not all of which deserved equal reprobation.
		During the second half of the eighteenth century the influence of Jansenism was prolonged by taking on various forms and ramifications, and extending to countries other than those in which we have hitherto followed it.
		On French soil the remains of Jansenism were not completely extinguished by the French Revolution, but survived in some remarkable personalities, such as the constitutional Bishop Grégoire, and in some religious congregations, as the Sisters of St. Martha, who did not return in a body to Catholic truth and unity until 1847.

		Jansenism was strictly a Roman Catholic movement, and it had no repercussions in the Protestant world.
		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.

	Jansenism
		Jansenism, a theological doctrine which urged greater personal holiness, espoused predestination and was linked to some extent with GALLICANISM.
		At odds with Rome and particularly critical of the Jesuits, Jansenism was, after 1650, the object of a series of condemnations which shook the church of France.
		Nevertheless the moral rigour of Mgr de SAINT-VALLIER and his successors drew on Jansenist morality, for it was inspired by the same Augustinian source, though it had different theological bases; yet it was sometimes nourished by the reading of certain Jansenist texts.

		The Jesuits overshot the mark in this insolent interference, and the memorial was suppressed by the Spanish Inquisition, in a decree of September 28, 1698, as insulting to the authorities, secular and ecclesiastical, of Flanders.
		Jansen supported the doctrines of the Calvinists and Lutherans against the faith and his followers promulgated the greatest errors against the Church and its discipline.
		A precursor of Jansen was Michel de Bay or Baius, a theologian of Louvain, whose seventy-nine propositions were condemned by Pius V and Gregory XIII and were publicly abjured by him before the University, May 24, 1580.

		Jansen studied at the universities of Louvain (then in the Spanish Netherlands) from 1602 and Paris from 1604, the went to study at Bayonne where he became director of the episcopal college,1612-1614.
		Jansen spent much of his life studying the works of St Augustine whose writing was concerned to combat the Pelagian heresy that all men can achieve salvation entirely by their own merits.
		Jansen's studies were published posthumously by his friends as Augustinus in 1640, a work which emphasised Augustine's belief that mankind only achieves salvation through the grace of Christ, and this grace is accorded only to the elect few whilst the mass are condemned to perdition.

		But the circumstances of the 17th century were not those of the 5th; and Jansen landed his followers in an inextricable confusion.
		The Jansenists played into their hands by suddenly raising (1701) in the Paris divinity school the question whether it was necessary to accept the condemnation of Jansen with interior assent, or whether a " respectful silence " was enough.
		Meanwhile genuine Jansenism survived in many country parsonages and convents, and led to frequent quarrels with the authorities.

		Jansenism as a heresy has to be looked at in its historical context.
		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.
		According to Jansen, in man's fallen state he was no longer free but a slave of sin, forever dragged along by earthly delights, and all that he did led him to the abyss of corruption.

		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.
		Precipitating the battle was the presentation in 1649 of five propositions, implicitly attributed to Jansen, for examination by the theology faculty at the Sorbonne.
		Jansenism, save for some small secret groups, was eradicated in France by the mid-1700s and died in Italy half a century later.

		In 1617 the two friends separated, Jansen returning to Louvain, where he was appointed to a chair of scriptural exegesis, and du Verger to Paris, where he took up his residence though he held at the same time the commendatory abbacy of St. Cyran.
		Like Baius, Jansen refused to recognize that in the condition of innocence, in which man was constituted before the Fall, he was endowed with numerous gifts and graces, that were pure gifts of God in no way due to human nature.
		Owing to the intervention of the Parliament of Paris in favor of the Jansenists the propositions were referred to the Assembly of the Clergy (1650), but the vast body of the bishops considered that it was a question on which a decision should be sought from Rome.

		But Jansenism from that time forward maintained its resistance on the ground not of dogma but of ecclesiastical law; the Jansenists invoked Gallican liberties, asserting that the Bull had been issued in contravention of those liberties.
		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.

		Cardinal Noailles was honoured by a seat in the privy council, and became the principal adviser of the regent in ecclesiastical affairs.
		Instead of doing Jansenism any good these so-called miracles, utterly unworthy as they were of divine wisdom and holiness, served only to injure its cause, and indeed to injure the Christian religion generally, by placing a good weapon in the hands of its rationalist adversaries.
		From that time Jansenism declined rapidly in France, but the followers of the sect united with the Gallicans of the Parliament to enslave the Church, and with the Rationalists to procure the suppression of the Jesuits, whom they regarded as their most powerful opponents.

		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.

	Calvinism and Jansenism
		Jansenism, which would take hold primarily in the Low Countries and France during the sixteenth century, had many striking similarities with the views of Calvin.
		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.
		Although the movement began as a theological one, it would be incorrect to say that Jansenism was primarily concerned with theological problems, for in the eighteenth century, it would take on a distinctly political flavor.

		Jansen had early taken sides in the controversy that had raged at Louvain ever since the days of its celebrated professor, Michael Baius (1513-89), and the eminent Jesuit, Leonard Lessius (1554-1625).
		For the great work of Jansenism was to insist that piety does not mean believing a particular opinion, or adopting a particular mode of life ; it means conversion, becoming a new creature.
		As Jansenism shrunk more and more to the proportions of a harassed sect, these were multiplied a hundredfold.

	The Foreruners of the French Revolution
		A still graver consequence of the Gallican Articles was that their spirit lived on in a certain element of the French clergy, and that this spirit, coupled with that of Jansenism, contributed not a little (as we shall see) to 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.

		Both Jansenism and Lefebvrism appealed to, and, consciously recruited young people - perhaps, seeking identity, certainty, and, strong authority-figures at a time of diorientation in, and, alienation from, a rapidly-changing Church and society - as well as a wider group of older people despairing about the state of the Church.
		Their "bible," Cornelius Jansen's Augustinus (1640), held the neo-Calvinist position that as a result of the fall, human beings are irremediably corrupt and only a few can be saved, and these only by irresistible grace.
		Essentially antiquarians, the Jansenists were opposed to philosophical reasoning ("the mother of all heresies") in theology, indeed to all methods of theology apart from the true one of "memory" or study of tradition.

		It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Jansenism as a religious phenomenon in European life, and yet during the seventeenth century its followers denied its very existence.
		Jansenism, and the theology of Cornelius Jansen, powerfully infused French political life from the mid seventeenth century to the Revolution 150 years later - it impacted on the Enlightenment, the development of French constitutional thinking, the modernisation of the Catholic church and the destruction of the Jesuits.
		It explains exactly why Jansenism was so important, it recreates the religious and intellectual world which fostered it and examines the critical issues, such as the all-pervasive role of the Jesuits in European Catholic life.
