Meaning of "jansenist" in English

A Jansenist is a follower of Jansenism, a theological movement within the Catholic Church initiated by the teachings of Cornelius Jansen in the 17th century. It emphasized original sin, human depravity, the necessity of divine grace, and predestination. Jansenists were known for advocating a return to practices they saw as more closely aligned with early Christianity. Traditionally, they clashed with the Church hierarchy, particularly because of their views on grace and salvation, which were at odds with those of the Jesuits.
