Étienne Pasquier, The Jesuits’ Catechism or Their Doctrine Examined (1602)
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-14936-6 (ISBN)
Étienne Pasquier (1529–1615) was a lawyer, royal official, man of letters, and historian. He represented the University of Paris in its 1565 suit to dislodge a Jesuit school from Paris. Despite royal support, the Jesuits remained in conflict with many institutions, which in 1595 led to their expulsion from much of the realm. With ever-increasing polemics, Pasquier continued to oppose the Jesuits. To further his aims, he published a dialog between a Jesuit (almost certainly Louis Richeome) and a lawyer (Pasquier himself). He called it the Jesuits’ Catechism (1602). Pasquier’s work did not stop the French king from welcoming the Jesuits back. However, Pasquier’s Catechism remained central to Jansenist and other anti-Jesuit agitation up to the Society’s 1773 suppression and beyond.
Known for her translations of Annales School historians, and her analytical bibliography of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Patricia M. Ranum has edited several seventeenth-century sources, the most recent one being the Mystical Writings of Jean-Joseph Surin (Brill, 2018). Jotham Parsons, PhD (1997, Johns Hopkins University) is Associate Professor of History at Duquesne University. He has published extensively on early modern European history, including The Church in the Republic: Gallicanism and Political Ideology in Renaissance France (CUA Press, 2005). Robert A. Maryks, PhD (2006, Fordham University) has published widely on the history of the Jesuits, including The Jesuit Order as a Synagogue of Jews (Brill, 2010). He is the editor of the Journal of Jesuit Studies.
