CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pasquier Quesnel |
 | | Pasquier Quesnel, born in Paris, 14 July, 1634; died at Amsterdam, 2 December, 1719. |
 | | Quesnel was profoundly imbued with the errors of Baius and the Jansenists, and he had skilfully spread these views in his "Moral Reflections" on the New Testament. |
 | | Although they appear there only on occasions, disjointedly, in a fragmentary way, and are moreover hidden in the expression of pious considerations, they really form a systematic whole; they show their author to have adopted a radically false but coherent system, which is fundamentally only a synthesis of the systems of Baius and Jansenius. |
