	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jansenius and Jansenism
		The Jansenists persisted none the less in an attitude opposed alike to frankness and to logic.
		reason that a number of Jansenists who were more consistent in their contumacy, such as Pascal, refused to adopt it or to subscribe to the condemnation of the five propositions in any sense.
		The greater number were at bottom zealous Catholics, but their zeal, agreeing with that of the Jansenists on so many points, took on, so to speak, an outer colouring of Jansenism, and they were drawn into closer sympathy with the party in proportion to the confidence with which it inspired them.

	Jansenism
		The Jansenists increasingly allied themselves with the Gallicans in the French Parlements in an effort to force the calling of an ecclesiastical council to reconsider the pope's condemnation (Gallicanism).
		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.
		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.

	The Enigma of a Legend: Jean Racine

		Educated by the Jansenist of Port-Royal, Racine was a voracious reader and diligent student, writing in French and Latin and studying Greek drama.

	Jansenist Miracles from the Holy Thorn to the Origins of the Cult to Francois de Paris
		Nevertheless, despite the reservations expressed by these Jansenists toward the movement’s recourse to the supernatural—reservations which would be reiterated with even greater force in the 1730s—the justificatory miracle, like the symbolic portent, continued to play a significant role in much of the party’s apologetic literature until the very end of the reign of Louis XIV.
		There, too, he became increasingly committed to the Jansenist point of view—a personal commitment to the sect’s austere and demanding form of Christianity and to the wide range of spiritual, charitable, pastoral, and educational enterprises with which the school of Port-Royal had come to be associated.
		As with most of the Jansenists at Port-Royal, separation was primarily of an interior sort and did not involve a complete refusal of all contact with the society at large.

	Blaise Pascal - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Pascal denounced casuistry as the mere use of complex reasoning to justify moral laxity.
		His writings on this subject, a defense of the Jansenist Antoine Arnauld, appeared as the Lettres provinciales, or "Provincial Letters." This work incensed King Louis XIV of France who ordered in 1660 that the book be shredded and burnt.
		Pascal's most influential theological work, the Pensées, was unfinished by his death, but a version of his notes for that book appeared in print in 1670, eight years after, and it soon became a classic of devotional literature.

		Pascal's mother died early and he was left, at the age of seven, to be with his father and his sister, Jacqueline (Jacqueline was to enter a Jansenist convent.) His father, high up in the French judiciary, undertook to personally see to his son's education.
		Pascal, even as a beginning youth, was a brilliant light in the intellectual community as then existed in France; many could not believe that such brilliant insights could come from such a mere youth.
		He was to continue with his writing, but it now took a distinct religious tone; often, given his position as a Jansenist, a faction of the Roman catholic church, against the position and the teachings of the Jesuits."
