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.

β€œOne cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”

― Golda Meir, My Life (1975)
