Jansenism I: Ordinance and Pastoral Instruction on the Case of Conscience (1704)

François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon

This book is in French.

The first of Fénelon’s four Pastoral Instructions against the Case of Conscience (1702), a consultation of forty doctors of Paris admitting “respectful silence” before the condemnation of Jansenius: Fénelon condemns the pamphlet and establishes the Church’s authority over dogmatic facts (Valenciennes, 1704).
