| Summary: | After the Roman condemnations by different popes (1643-65) of 'Augustinus,' the book written by Cornelius Jansenius (d. 1638), the Catholic Church in the Netherlands showed a clear division into two schools of thought. The Augustinian school had its main supporters among the secular clergy who had studied theology at Louvain. They advocated a moral and pastoral rigorism, attached greater importance to inner attitudes than to externals, and had a keen eye for the needs of the local church. The main centers of Augustinianism were the University of Louvain and the convent of Port Royal, south of Paris. Their opponents, a large number of Jesuits and Franciscans, called them Jansenists. These anti-Jansenists, who belonged to the school of Molinism, advocated an optimistic view of humanity and a liberal and not very severe morality. With them there was room for processions, pilgrimages, and the worship of saints and they encouraged people to take Communion frequently. They supported a pyramidal, hierarchically structured church. |
