  Jean Gerson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Charlier de Gerson (December 14, 1363 – July 12, 1429), French scholar and divine, chancellor of the university of Paris, a guiding light of the conciliar movement and the one of most the prominent theologians at the Council of Constance, was born at the village of Gerson, in the bishopric of Reims in Champagne.
John of Montson appealed to Pope Clement VII at Avignon, and Pierre d'Ailly, Gerson and the other university delegates, while they personally supported the doctrine of the immaculate conception, were content to rest their case upon.
In 1392 Gerson became doctor of theology; and in 1395, when Pierre d'Ailly was made bishop of Puy, he was, at the early age of thirty-two, elected chancellor of the university of Paris, and made a canon of Notre Dame.

(1363-1429), otherwise JEAN CHARLIER DE GERSON, French scholar and divine, chancellor of the university of Paris, and the ruling spirit in the oecumenical councils of Pisa and Constance, was born at the village of Gerson, in the bishopric of Reims and department of Arden.nes, on the I4th of December 1363.
Gerson wished to banish scholastic subtleties from the studies of the university, and at the same time to put some evangelical warmth into them.
Many of Gersons biographers have found it difficult to reconcile his proceedings against Huss with his own opinions upon the supremacy of the pope; but the difficulty has arisen partly from misunderstanding Gersons position, partly from supposing him to be the author of a famous tractDe modis uniendi ac ref ormandi Ecclesiam in concilio universali.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean de Charlier de Gerson
Although Gerson had won the doctorate only a year before his former teacher, Pierre d'Ailly, was named Bishop of Puy (1395), Benedict XIII chose him to succeed d'Ailly in the important position of Chancellor of Notre-Dame and of the university (13 April).
Gerson is exclusively rational and practical, and the object of all his argumentation is the justification of the most extraordinary methods of procedure in order to attain the final result desired by him and by all Christendom.
Gerson attributed this "condemnable" obstinancy to the necessity of sycophancy, calling it "a deadly poison with which the organism of the Church is impregnated to the very marrow" (Ibid, II, 247).

By contrast, Gerson primarily represents discernment as the prerogative of the priesthood in its Janus-faced capacity of shepherd/judge.
He then reverses Gerson's contention that the deed of the Maid can be supported, as Gerson put it, "with the piety of the Catholic faith and sincere devotion," instead using the same phrase to argue that she moves the simple to disrespect of God, imperiling their souls and subverting the faith.
While Gerson's self-interested efforts to maintain an overly disinterested separation from his subject may have had a hobbling effect, it was the evocation of the noncompulsory nature of the cult of the saints that sprang the trap, giving the anonymous cleric an undeniable advantage.
