Pierre Lizet
Pierre Lizet (1482 – 17 June 1554) was a French magistrate. He received his education in civil law and canon law. From 1529 to 1549, he was the president of the Parlement of Paris. During the spread of Protestantism in France, the French Parliament started to evaluate appeals against sentences written by the Roman Catholic diocesan courts. In selected cases, bishops were censored by the civil legislative assembly when their decisions were declared to be heretical. In 1525, Guillaume Poyet, future lawyer of the king of France, asked the Parliament to suspend bishop of Angers Francis de Rohan (1480–1536) from its functions. It was the first case discussed in France. The bishop was guilty of simony because he had allowed his priests to be paid by Christian believers in order to administer sacraments to them. Lizet compared simoniac bishops to the heretics and asked the royal court to replace the ecclesiastical jurisdiction upon similar cases. Jean Guibert was the first French ...

Gérard Roussel
Gérard Roussel (1500–1550) was a French cleric, a student of Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples and later a member, with his former teacher, of the Circle of Meaux around Guillaume Briçonnet, bishop of Meaux. This group was characterized by evangelical sensibilities, but all the while remaining Catholics, at a time when religious identities were unclear and a matter of dispute, due to the very recent Protestant Reformation. Gérard Roussel, along with Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples, was described by the historian Thierry Wanegffelen as being "between two pulpits", that of Rome and that of Geneva where Jean Calvin would settle permanently in 1541, and, more generally, between Catholicism and Protestantism.A. A. Tilley The Reformation In France./ref> When the Circle of Meaux was broken up in 1525, Roussel, like most of its members and unlike Guillaume Farel, stayed within the Catholic Church. He then became the personal preacher of Marguerite of Navarre, queen consort of Navarre ; unde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Louis De Berquin
Louis de Berquin (c. 1490 – 17 April 1529) was a French lawyer, civil servant, linguist, lapidary, and Protestant reformer in the 16th century. He was burned at the stake as a heretic in April 1529 for refusing to recant his beliefs. Life and work Berquin was born of noble family around 1490 in Vieux-Berquin. Coming into contact with Christian humanists such as Erasmus and Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples he began to study the Bible for himself and to advocate reform of the French Catholic Church from within. He desired to free France from the power of the pope. His writings aroused fierce opposition among traditional scholars. However, King Francis I and his sister Marguerite of Valois intervened in his behalf. Marguerite especially defended him, writing to the constable, Anne de Montmorency after Berquin was released from one arrest, "I thank you for the pleasure you have afforded me in the matter of poor Berquin whom I esteem as much as if he were myself; and so you may ...

Jan Standonck
Jan Standonck (or ''Jean Standonk''; 16 August 1453 – 5 February 1504) was a Flemish priest, Scholastic, and reformer. He was part of the great movement for reform in the 15th-century French church. His approach was to reform the recruitment and education of the clergy, along very ascetic lines, heavily influenced by the hermit saint Francis of Paola. To this end he founded many colleges, all of them strictly controlled and dedicated to poor students with real vocations. Chief amongst them was the Collège de Montaigu, latterly part of the University of Paris. He lived at a time when this model of reform was under increasing pressure from more thoroughgoing critiques—including that of one of his most famous students, Erasmus. Early years He was born in Mechelen (at that time part of the Burgundian Netherlands) into extremely humble circumstances, the son of a poor cobbler. He received his early education there but quickly transferred to Gouda, where the Brothers of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He was a follower of theologian Natalis Beda. In 1519, he was made governor of the Carthusians of Paris. Sutor is known for being an outspoken critic of Erasmus, Martin Luther, and Protestantism more generally. For example, in his 1525 work ''De Translatione Bibliae'' ("On the Translation of the Bible"), he vehemently opposed the translation of the Bible into vernacular languages while upholding the sufficiency of St. Jerome's Latin Vulgate. He "considered it sufficient that the people could recite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
