Feuillanten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Feuillants ( Feuillants , lat. Fulienses ) were a congregation of the Cistercians , which was donated by Jean de la Barrière in Les Feuillants in southern France in 1574 to work against the secularization of the order at that time. They were confirmed by Sixtus V in 1586 .

History of the Congregation

As early as 1595, at the express will of the Pope, very mild observances replaced the earlier austerity. The abbot of Feuillants, whose appointment Henry IV left to the general chapter, was exempted from the jurisdiction of the mother monastery of Cîteaux .

Soon the number of Feuillanten monasteries in France and Italy rose to around 60. Urban VIII divided them into two congregations in 1630, the French Congregation de Notre Dame de Feuillants , which flourished until the time of the French Revolution , and the Italian who called themselves i Riformati di San Bernardo ("the Reformed of St. Bernard ").

Each had its own general chapter and abbot general . The clothes were the same for both: a white robe without a scapular , a large hood, also white, and a white belt, for the lay brothers a rope that they did not take off even in the choir; a hat was only allowed when traveling. After no less strict observance, Barrière had also founded a congregation of nuns called Feuillantinnen or Fulienserinnen.

Well-known members of the order were Bernard de Montgaillard (1563-1628), from 1605 abbot and reformer of the Orval monastery in Belgium , Antoinette von Orléans-Longueville (1572-1618), Jean Goulu and Giovanni Bona .

During the Revolution, the former monastery of the Feuillants in Paris was the meeting place of the political club of the Feuillants , which was named after it and which sought a state constitution based on the English model, but was dissolved on March 28, 1791.
