The doctors of the Church, with St. Norbert and St. Bernard at their head, did not cease to denounce UNIVERSITY OF PARIS. 145 him to the pope as a heretic. "The human mind, " writes St. Bernard to the pope, "usurps everything, leaves nothing to faith. " Here we see for the first time, and this in France, the intimate connection of the university movement with freedom of inquiry.
