Jansenist, n. (a.)|ˈdʒænsənɪst|
[f. the surname Jansen + -ist.]
A member of that school or party in the Roman Catholic Church holding the doctrines of Cornelius Jansen, bishop of Ypres in Flanders (died 1638), who maintained after St. Augustine the perverseness and inability for good of the natural human will.
The Jansenists were a powerful body in the R.C. Ch. in the 17th and 18th centuries, but were strongly opposed by the Molinists and other Jesuits, and their doctrines were condemned by several popes, especially by Clement X in the Bull Unigenitus.
