I don’t have live access to current news right now. Here’s a quick summary of Pasquier Quesnel based on well-known historical sources:
- Pasquier Quesnel (1634–1719) was a French Jansenist theologian and writer who played a leading role in the Jansenist movement after Antoine Arnauld’s death. He was active in Paris, banished, and eventually settled in Amsterdam. He authored the influential Moral reflections on the New Testament, which drew papal condemnation and became a focal point in the Unigenitus controversy. [Britannica; New Advent; Wikipedia]
