Quietism
The quietism is a Doctrine consistent Mystique in a spiritual route of “advance towards God”. It aims to Christian perfection , in a state of quietude " passive" and trustful. This route passes by a continual desire of " presence with Dieu" , of quietude and union with God leading at the end of the advance, with a mystical going beyond of the stages which allowed the advance itself (practical ascetic and respect of the liturgical constraints of the life). For the quietist the God union well before death is the goal of the Christian life. The quietism seems a reaction to the Jansénisme by the search for God more accessible than that from the hosts of Port-Royal, who arrive at the divine Communion only after death and a life marked by a Ascèse rigorous and terrifying which does not guarantee to them to be saved.
This Doctrine occurs in Italy towards the end of the 17th century, preached by a Spanish Théologien, Miguel de Molinos (1628 - 1696). She is condemned by the pope Innocent XI in the bubble Coelestis Pastor (1687). On the other hand, the count de Ponthieu, brother-in-law of the king pled in his favor near the Pars of France to save Fénelon of disgrace. Fénélon in its work " Maxims of the saints" the traditional point of view of its thought will defend while being pressed on the Greek Fathers (St Clement of Alexandria and St Jean Cassien in particular) and on many Western Christian mystics.
The development of these doctrines, violently fought by Bossuet, feeds a religious crisis in France in the last years of the 17th century. The victory of Bossuet over Fénelon and Mrs. Guyon involved on what Louis Cognet called " the twilight of the mystiques" , end of Christian mysticism in France.
