Formulary Controversy

Years: 1664 - 1669

The Formulary Controversy, in 17th century France, pits the Jansenists against the Jesuits and gives rise to Blaise Pascal's Lettres Provinciales, the condemnation by the Vatican of Casuistry, and the final dissolution of organized Jansenism.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

― George Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905)
