Pasquier Quesnel Quotes

A collection of quotes by Pasquier Quesnel.

Pasquier Quesnel (1634-1719) was a French theologian and Jansenist. He became a prominent figure in the Jansenist movement, which advocated for a more rigorous interpretation of Catholic doctrine. Quesnel is best known for his work "Réflexions morales sur le Nouveau Testament" (Moral Reflections on the New Testament), a collection of meditations on the Gospels. The book was controversial and eventually condemned by the Catholic Church due to its perceived alignment with Jansenist teachings. Quesnel's writings and his involvement in the Jansenist cause led to his excommunication in 1713.
