Les théologiens face à un antiromanisme catholique extrême au temps du richérisme

Abstract

This article analyzes the censorship delivered by the Faculty of theology in Paris on December 15th, 1617 against the first four books of the De Republica ecclesiastica of Marc Antonio De Dominis (1560-1624). De Dominis, archbishop of Spalato, had taken refuge in England during the reign of king James I and became apostate. This censorship represented the Faculty’s backtracking because of the outrage cause by De Dominis’assault against Roman pontifical power. In this way The Faculty broke away from its previous decision which followed the Edmond Richer’s rejection of Roman pontifical power which had inspired its last decisions up to the Estates-General of 1614-1615.
