  Seattle Catholic - Lamennais, Rousseau, and the New Catholic Order
In Lamennais' "liberation" of a Catholicism which was actually a new and different Faith than that of his Breton forebears; in his support for a belief system that seemed, at first glance, to exalt the supernatural, but ended by tossing it into an secular house of contradictory horrors from which it could never escape.
Lamennais had seen in the traditional Bourbon Monarchy of the French Restoration (1814-1830) the force most apt to work together with the Church as a battery charging Christian society and Christian man. He was a fervent contributor to legitimist journals such as Le conservateur and Le drapeau blanc.
Lamennais had little trouble admitting as much, as he had by this point come to believe that vitality itself was a sure sign of the divine presence.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Felicite Robert de Lamennais
At the age of five Lamennais lost his mother: his father, absorbed in business, was thus obliged to confide the education of Jean-Marie and Félicité to Robert des Saudrais, the brother-in-law of his wife, who had no children of his own.
Lamennais next published a violent article against the imperial university; indeed, when Napoleon returned from Elba, the young writer, thinking himself insecure in France, went over to England, where he found a temporary asylum with M. Carron, a French priest who had established in London a school for the children of émigrés.
Lamennais was also cited before the Tribunal of the Seine for attacking the king's government and the Four Articles of 1682 in their character of existing laws.

Hughes Felicité Robert de Lamennais (June 19, 1782 - February 27, 1854), was a French priest, and philosophical and political writer.
Lamennais visited Rome at the pope's request, and was offered a place in the Sacred College, which he refused.
Lacordaire and Montalembert obeyed; Lamennais, however, remained in Rome, but his last hope vanished with the issue of Gregory's letter to the Polish bishops, in which the Polish patriots were reproved and the tsar was affirmed to be their lawful sovereign.

 MODERN PHILOSOPHY: The Successors of Kant
Although Lamennais (picture) radically changed his religious and political standpoint at least three times and cursed what he had adored in the preceding period of his life, his mind preserved, despite all shifts, traits of imposing constancy.
Lamennais was a keen metaphysician and, at the same time, a passionate sociologist, a thinker whom Schelling, after a long discussion with him, called "the greatest dialectician of the epoch," and an enthusiast whose imagination evidenced a dramatic tension and power.
Lamennais was one of the founders of the Second French Republic, the initiator of Catholic liberalism and Christian socialism.

 History of Philosophy 68
Félicité Robert de Lamennais, who was by far the ablest of the traditionalists, was born at St. Malo in 1782.
Lamennais submitted at first, but later, as is well known, recalled his adhesion to the papal decision, and, in the Paroles d'un croyant (1834) and in the Affaires de Rome, made open war on the Church and on the whole existing order.
To the traditionalism which he professed in his earlier work he here adds an element of mysticism, teaching that tradition is to be supplemented by faith, that God is the first object of philosophy, and that the finite is to be known by means of the infinite.

Renan attempts an indirect compliment to himself in comparison with Lamennais on the fact that he (Renan) made his exit from the faith in formal or organized Christianity by the quiet and orderly road of History and Criticism.
Of the two, we think Lamennais' exit incomparably the nobler, rock strewn and difficult though the pathway be along which he pressed with bleeding feet.
The vitality, variety, and power of his genius are seen in the fact that his works are a treasury from which the leaders of prominent and opposing religious movements have largely borrowed their arguments.

The Abbé de Lamennais, at this time at the height of his reputation as a defender of the Church immediately offered him the post of collaborator in "L'Avenir", a newspaper intended to fight for the cause of "God and Freedom".
But it was he, also, who was the first to recognize that their cause was lost, and that they must bow to the pontiff's decision.
The system of philosophy adopted by Lamennais was never accepted by his colleague, who also refused to pay the homage which was expected from the inmates of La Chênaie.

 Comte de Montalembert
At times, Montalembert had to smooth over some of the risky things Lamennais allowed himself to be led into writing against the royalists in the paper; on the other hand he was engaged in controversy with Lacordaire, whose idea of aristocracy and the past glory of the French nobles he considered too narrow.
The trial ended in his condemnation to a fine of one hundred francs; but his eloquence succeeded in calling public attention to the question of freedom of teaching, which was destined not to be solved until 1850.
Montalembert submitted at once, and when early in 1833 Lamennais announced his intention of again taking up his editorial work, excepting the field of theology, and concerning himself only with social and political questions, Montalembert did all he could to dissuade him from so imprudent a step.

She was decidedly its adversary, because she held that the Church had stifled the spirit of liberty, that it had thrown a veil over the words of Christ, and that it was the obstacle in the way of holy equality.
Lamennais was the man of the nineteenth century who waged the finest battle against individualism, against "the scandal of the adoration of man by man."[34] [34] Compare Brunetiere, _Evolution de la poesie lyrique_, vol.
Lamennais was the origin of this transformation, although it is personified in another man, and that other man, was named Pierre Leroux.

Lamennais and The Catholic Church in France By Christopher Dawson It is impossible to understand religious and cultural developments in the abstractions of contemporaneity, without reference to history.
It was the first sign of Lamennais' new attitude with regard to the monarchy; up to now he had been an extreme partisan of the union of Church and state as an ally of the ultraroyalists.
Lamennais' prophesying is hard to reconcile with his promise to the Pope to cease writing on Church matters, and it is explicable only on the grounds that he believed that the Church was no longer capable of regenerating society,that the work must be done from the outside.

 September 10: Lamennais makes his submission
Lamennais appealed to the pope and left him a statement of his belief.
He rebuked his work on four grounds: that it dealt publicly with delicate issues which should be handled higher in the church hierarchy; that his theories would foment revolt; that many of his views were contrary to church doctrine; and that there could not be collaboration between the church and all who worked for liberty.
Lamennais' importance lies in the fact he forced Catholics to move toward Democracy, created a new apologetic, and turned French Catholicism away from Gallicanism.

 Newman Reader - Ward's Life of Cardinal Newman - Chapter 15
Félicité de Lamennais, at first like De Maistre a Royalist, fused together these two streams—the practical and the philosophical—in his 'Essai sur l'indifférence.' His work was Ultramontane and traditionalist.
But 'ce grand esprit immodéré,' as Sainte-Beuve calls Lamennais, took offence in 1826 with the action of Charles X. in causing him to be prosecuted for some strong published statements as to the power of the Papacy over kings.
If speculative theories of Liberalism were in abeyance since the censure of Lamennais, the movement still practically claimed liberty for Catholics, in the hope of winning back the heart of Christendom if freedom were allowed them to plead their own cause by speech and writing, and to organise without hindrance.

Lamennais was fired by the idea that "the Church was to be the principle of construction for the civilization of the future" (Wilfrid Ward, p.
His extreme claims on behalf of the Pope brought Lamennais opposition from the French bishops, who retained something of the Gallicanism of past generations, and from the government of Charles X, which sought to use the Church as an instrument for its own purposes.

Lamennais is accused of trying to "break all the bonds of loyalty and submission to princes." Gregory was particularly incensed that Lamennais had used scripture throughout his work in attempt to support his ideas ("an impious use of the Word of God").

Lamennais, the son of an ennobled shipowner, was influenced in the years of his early education by the rationalistic outlook of the French revolution.
First, at the most general level, the principal preoccupations of his writings show the impact of the dual revolution -the French revolution that had taken place and the industrial revolution that was beginning- had on French intellectual life in the first half of the nineteenth century.
By his desire to strengthen the pope's authority and thus give greater unity to the church, he was one of the first and most uncompromising of ultramontanes.

 Franz Liszt and the Sacramental Bridge
Lamennais' magnum opus Esquisse d'une Philosophie appeared in 1840 in three volumes with the third volume devoted largely to art.
Walker writes: “Art for Lamennais was God made manifest; it ennobled the human race; insofar as the artist was a bearer of the beautiful, he was like a priest ministering to his congregation.”
With the influences of his father, St. Simonism, and Lamennais, Liszt's deeply personal faith combined with an understanding of the role of art in society reflects a Catholic worldview that embraces the traditional Christian concepts of mystery, sacramentality, and a theology of presence.
