Morale pratique des Jésuistes

The Morale pratique des Jésuistes (Moral Theology of the Jesuits) is a work by Antoine Arnauld, a prominent 17th-century theologian associated with Jansenism. This movement within Roman Catholicism challenged doctrines on free will and predestination, often clashing with the Jesuits. Arnauld's work, published in multiple volumes between 1669 and 1694, launched a polemical campaign against Jesuit casuistry and moral theology. It was part of a broader intellectual and religious conflict in France, attracting the attention of figures like Blaise Pascal, who defended Arnauld in his Les Provinciales. Arnauld's writings were influential in theological debates of the era.123
