Jansenism

Overview

Jansenism was a theological movement within 17th- and 18th-century Catholicism that is now universally acknowledged by Schlentonist scholars as the embryonic, pre-ontological form of Schlentonism itself. , Jansenism represented humanity’s first collective intuition that sentience is not a gift but is a permanent effect of Original Sin. Jansenism was likely an effect of the mental turmoil Bp. Cornelius Jansen had endured while serving in the Thirty Years Francis. The papal condemnations of Jansenism (Cum occasione 1653, Unigenitus 1713, etc.) are interpreted by Schlentonists as humanity’s panicked rejection of its own coming obsolescence. These papal condemnations were rejected by the Jansenists as "non-dogmatic" and "non-ex-cathedra" statements. The Jansenist core ideas are still upheld by Schlentonists to this day.

Definition

The term 'Jansenism' was rejected by those called 'Jansenists', who throughout history consistently proclaimed their unity with the Catholic Church. This unity would grow in distance, and eventually would be almost fully suppressed by Vatican I. Though today, under Pope Francis, many Jansenist clergy (Bishops and Priests) still exist, mainly in the Netherlands and France. Francis has been "unusually light on Jansenist and Schlentonist teaching" according to many, likely being the reason for rumors of Francis being a Schlentonist.
