  Jansenism, Again
The Bull, Unigenitus, was accepted immediately by one hundred and twelve bishops of France, by the majority of the clergy, by the Sorbonne, and by the king and Parliament.
Cardinal Noailles was honored by a seat in the privy council, and became the principal adviser of the regent in ecclesiastical affairs.
According to this mandate the regulation for allowing or refusing the administrations of the sacraments was a matter to be determined by the bishops, though any person who considered himself aggrieved by their action might appeal against the abuse of ecclesiastical power.

 Acceptants
After eighteen months of careful study, the famous Bull Unigenitus, destined soon to provoke an outburst of wrath on the part of the Jansenists, was promulgated in Rome (8 September, 1713).
Noailles was put at the head of a "conseil de conscience pour les affaires ecclésiastiques", and four doctors of the Sorbonne who had been exiled because of their violent opposition to the Bull were recalled.
He caused to be composed a Corps de Doctrine (1720) explaining the Bull Unigenitus, and about one hundred prelates gave their adhesion to it.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Unigenitus
The Bull begins with the warning of Christ against false prophets, especially such as "secretly spread evil doctrines under the guise of piety and introduce ruinous sects under the image of sanctity"; then it proceeds to the condemnation of 101 propositions which are taken verbatim from the last edition of Quesnel's work.
On 8 March, 1718, appeared a Decree of the Inquisition, approved by Clement XI, which condemned the appeal of the four bishops as schismatic and heretical, and that of Noailles as schismatic and approaching to heresy.

From Unigenitus (1713) to Mirari vos (1832): Catholics in the Northern and the Southern Netherlands between Jansenism and Ultramontanism.
In defending or attacking the bull Unigenitus, ecclesiological ideas prevailed, but the political significance of this choice was growing in the 18th Century.
The situation in the Soutern Netherlands were the official antijansenist policy of the government after 1750 was replaced by an attack on ultramontanism, differed from that in the Northern Netherlands, were the unofficial status of the Catholic Church prevented State intervention in church matters.

 Pope Benedict XIV -16 October 1756 - On the Apostolic Constitution Unigenitus
The authority of the apostolic constitution which begins with the word Unigenitus is certainly so great and lays claim everywhere to such sincere veneration and obedience that no one can withdraw the submission due it or oppose it without risking the loss of eternal salvation.
The answer must be given without any hesitation that as long as they are opposed publicly and notoriously, viaticum must be denied them; this follows for the universal law which prohibits a known public sinner to be admitted to Eucharistic communion, whether he asks for it in public or in private.
There are others, also objectors, who, although they have not been condemned by a judge and have not admitted the crime in court, nevertheless, at the time when they are about to receive the sacred viaticum, voluntarily confess their stubborn resistance to the constitution.

 The French Church Prior to the Revolution
Voltaire, who had reached the verge of manhood at the publication of the constitution Unigenitus, thus describes the relative strength of the two parties, as the matter stood a few years later: "The Church of France continued to be divided into two parties, the accepters and the rejecters.
In one of these the author was pleased to say that it was not less heretical to reject the bull Unigenitus than to deny the incarnation of the Word and the divinity of Jesus Christ.
In truth, the atheistic revel of the revolutionary era was scarcely more of a sacrilege against Christianity than was the whole ungodly fracas of which the bull Unigenitus was the central and the most responsible factor.

This list, however incomplete, comprises in its first part only the most generally useful and edifying works; as an offset the seven last numbers are either impregnated with the Jansenist principles or consecrated principally to their defense.
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.
To make this clear, one has only to compare the hundred and one propositions condemned in the Bull "Unigenitus", and faithfully extracted from the "Réflexions morales" with the theories previously defended by the Bishop of Ypres and his predecessor in the University of Louvain.

He became notorious for refusing to swear adherence to the bull Unigenitus (1713).
His major work, Spectacle de la nature, was an eight-volume study of life and creation that was translated into virtually all European languages, still appearing in abridged editions in the early nineteenth century.
After a chance discovery of information useful to the Crown, he was offered a lucrative priory by Cardinal Fleury—which he refused on principle because of his continued refusal to sign Unigenitus.

 Unigenitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unigenitus (named for its Latin opening words Unigenitus dei filius, or "Only-begotten son of God"), a famous papal bull or Apostolic Constitution promulgated by Pope Clement XI, opened the final phase of the Jansenist controversy in France.
The controversy over the acceptance of Unigenitus in France sheds more light on the conduct of diplomacy at the court of the aged Louis XIV than it does on the essence of Jansenism itself.
It took the congregation eighteen months to perform its task, the result of which was the publication of the famous Bull Unigenitus at Rome, September 8, 1713.

 Jansenism
Almost from the beginning, the Jansenists aroused the hostility both of the Jesuits, who opposed the theology and moral teachings of the group, and of the French royal government, who associated the Jansenists with the opposition "Devout party" and with the rebellions of the Fronde (1648 - 53).
But in 1709 Port Royal was closed down and its occupants dispersed; and in 1713 Pope Clement XI, in his bull Unigenitus, officially condemned certain propositions attributed to Pasquier Quesnel, a leading Jansenist theologian.
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.

Unigenitus caused uproar in France, especially in Paris, where it was viewed as the result of Jesuit conspiracy, standing for papal pretensions against the Gallican Church and clerical manoeuvres against the laity, as well as being an obscurantist attack on scriptural piety, unjust to Jansenists in general and Noailles in particular.
Louis XIV forced its acceptance by the bishops, the Sorbonne and the parlement of Paris, followed by the other theological faculties and parlements, but his death and the accession to power of Philippe d’Orléans as regent for the infant Louis XV changed everything.
Support for the appellants was uneven in France as a whole and centred in Paris, but for their supporters the appeal represented a defence of the Gallican Church against the presumptuousness of Rome and of political freedom against Louis XIV's absolutism.

 [No title]
Led by the theologian and philosopher Antoine Arnauld, Saint-Cyran's protégé, and by the scientist and religious philosopher Blaise Pascal, the Jansenists vigorously defended themselves, claiming that the five propositions were not actually found in Jansen's treatise; at the same time they launched a counterattack against the Jesuits.
Finally, in 1713, under pressure from King Louis XIV, 101 propositions in a treatise by another French Jansenist, Pasquier Quesnel, were condemned by the papal bull Unigenitus.
Hundreds of clergymen refused to accept the bull Unigenitus, calling instead for a church council to examine the issue independently of Rome.

After the nuns' removal from Port-Royal, it was Mademoiselle de Joncoux who was instrumental in saving many of the convent's important documents and thus preserving its memory.
Her three main correspondents, the bishops of Châlons-sur-Marne, Montpellier, and Senez, were receptive to Joncoux's arguments about the threat Unigenitus represented to episcopal authority and the need for a council of the French Church.

An acute observer of events wrote in 1158: "The loss of religion in France cannot properly be attributed to the English philosophy, which has gained at Paris only a hundred philosophers, but to the hatred conceived toward the clergy which now runs to an excess.
It is reasonable to suppose that the bull Unigenitus, violently enforced as it was, was provocative of skepticism.
While the Unigenitus scandal had a baleful efficiency, it but added momentum to a current already started.

 A History of the So-Called Jansenist Church of Holland, by John Mason Neale (1858)
The elder clergy were beginning to die off; their places were necessarily supplied by partizans or creatures of the Jesuits; the leaders of the national party were advanced in years; and it was evident that, unless means could be found to procure a fresh supply of priests, Ultramontanisrn would shortly be triumphant.
The Bull Unigenitus was exciting the deepest indignation in that kingdom: the residence of Quesnel, Petitpied, and other distinguished writers of the party in Holland, served as a link between the two countries.
In fact, he was disposed to do so; but reflexion convinced him that he would never be allowed to work with any effectual success in his diocese; and he believed that, if he stated the case to the Propaganda, the crying injustice of the sentence would be allowed by them.

 Pope Clement XI And Bible Reading By The Laity
It is useful and necessary at all times, in all places, and for every kind of person, to study and to know the spirit, the piety, and the mysteries of Sacred Scripture.
To forbid Christians to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Gospels, is to forbid the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to suffer a kind of excommunication.
The text of Unigenitus found on EWTN's web site (to include the two notes), is apparently actually copied from The Sources of Catholic Dogma, Translated by Roy J. Deferrari, published by Marion House, from the Thirtieth Edition of Henry Denzinger's Enchiridion Symbolorum, published by B. Herder Book Co., Copyright 1957, pages 347-354.

On September 8th, 1713, Pope Clement XI issued a Bull, Unigenitus, which among other things condemned the proposition that reading of the bible is for everyone, 1 and seemed to exalt the efficacy of grace to the point of destroying liberty.
This Papal Bull almost brought France to the brink of schism 3 and the Austrian Emperor forbade the Bull Unigenitus in his territories.4 This Bull sparked a debate as to the limits of papal authority.
Sicilian seminaries were teaching their students that General Councils were supreme over the Pope and were using Unigenitus to show how Popes could err.5 Everywhere, the battle over Unigenitus caused a decline in the reputation of the See of Rome as a teacher of doctrinal truth.
