-
There was a bishop who didn't think he was obscure,
-
but a Belgian bishop called a Jansen who thought that
-
the Catholic Church was becoming too over-mighty,
-
and full of Baroque masses
-
and huge expenses for archbishops who weren't doing a damn thing.
-
He imagined another kind of religion and became very ascetic.
-
Somebody once called them Calvinists who went to mass.
-
They were still Catholic,
-
but they didn't believe in this high Baroque church.
-
Jansenism was in 1715 or so.
-
Then it comes back in the 1760s or 1770s.
-
It's extremely boring stuff.
