Pope 1700-1721 (Clemens XI). Unigenitus (8 Sept. 1713); Paris. Saint-Médard (Church); In the midst of the fierce controversies raging in France over the papal bull Unigenitus , worshipers at the tomb of a revered Jansenist deacon in Paris's Saint-Médard cemetery witnessed a variety of miraculous occurrences. These well-publicized events led to the emergence of a cult that came to affect and be affected by the most furious religious debate of the eighteenth-century. Professor Kreiser provides a full and objective account of the conflicts surrounding this unsanctioned cult, which remained a major cause célèbre in ecclesiastical politics for nearly a decade. |
