Biography
French Catholic priest, philosopher, and political theorist. He was one of the most influential intellectuals of Restoration France. Lamennais can be considered the forerunner of liberal Catholicism, and social Catholicism.
His famous opinions on matters of religion and government changed dramatically over the course of his life. He initially held rationalistic views, but in part due to the influence of his brother, Jean-Marie, came to see in religion an antidote for the anarchy and tyranny unleashed by revolution. He derided Napoleon, in part because of the Organic Articles which unilaterally amended the Concordat of 1801 with the papacy. Lamennais assailed the Gallican tradition and was a staunch ultramontane for a time.
He died in Paris on 27 February 1854.
