Note 1594 — XXXI. THE CHURCH OF TO-DAY.
Reading edition
The Pères de la Foi, also known as Adorateurs de Jésus and Paccanaristes, were Jesuits in disguise; the Société des Victimes de l’Amour de Dieu were Quietists. For the Report of M. Portalis, recommending their suppression, see Dutilleul, Hist. des Corporations Religieuses en France, Paris, 1846, pp. 411 sqq. For an exceedingly interesting sketch of modern French monachism, see also Ch. Sauvestre’s “Les Congrégations Religieuses” (Paris, 1867)—a work to which I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness for much that follows.
