Port-Royal

1661, the Assemblée du Clergé de France obliged all clergy to sign a form testifying to their submission to the decisions of the Holy See. In 1664, the Archbishop of Paris wanted to impose this decision on the nuns of Port-Royal. Among them was Sister Angélique de Saint Jean, admired by the very young Sister Françoise, who looked to her for comfort.
