Lamennais, (Hugues-) Felicite (-Robert de) (sh)




born June 19, 1782, Saint-Malo, France
died Feb. 27, 1854, Paris

French priest and philosopher.

With his brother Jean, he sketched a program of church reform in Reflections on the State of the Church (1808) and in 1814 produced a defense of ultramontanism (papal authority). Ordained a priest in 1816, he wrote the acclaimed Essay on Indifference Toward Religion (1817-23), which argued for the necessity of Religion. After the July Revolution (1830), he cofounded the journal L'Avenir to advocate democratic principles and church-state separation. Its principles were condemned by the pope in 1832. Lamennais's The Words of a Believer (1834), written in response, provoked another papal encyclical and led to Lamennais's severance from the church. Thereafter he wrote in the cause of republicanism and socialism.
