How does the Catholic Church consider jansenism nowadays ?

Question

Jansenism was the alternative to jesuits in the 17th century. This alternative was not chosen but it seems to me that it has still some influence on the Catholic Church. Do you agree ?

Answer 1

I disagree.

Jansenism was a heresy that taught the following doctrinal errors:

- It denied the necessity of free will in receiving and utilizing grace

- It claimed that grace is so efficacious that the will need not assent to it and in fact cannot reject it

- It concluded that this grace was intended only for a predestined elect

- It concluded that God actively bestows grace on some while actively withholding it from others.

The heresy also led to a disregard of the authority of the pope.

With love in Christ.
