By a stroke of the pen the whole of literary France was placed under a ban. The Parliament did not entirely approve this The French Revohdion. 95 censure, and reproached the bishops with having said nothing of the scandals of which the Jesuits and their partisans had been the authors ; thus inferring that, if Religion was then being combatted by the Philosophers, it was because the men who should liave taught and defended it had, by their own conduct, caused it to be dishonoured. But the denunc...iation of the Philosophers was not the most important part of the manifesto ; it did but precede a long exposition of the rights of the spiritual •powers, in which the prelates maintained that the ecclesiastical ministry was completely independent in all the " things of God, " and, particularly, in. The administration of the Sacraments. Follow- ing on to this came a declaration upon the Unigenitus Bull. This was exhuming all the old quarrels with Jansenism. In his capacity as President, the Archbishop of Rheims addressed a circular letter to all the prelates of the kingdom, in which he in- vited them to give their adherence to the Acts of the Assembly of the Clergy.
