Louis Jacques Maurice de Bonald (30 October 1787 – 23 February 1870) was a French cardinal and Archbishop of Lyon.[1]
Biography
Born at Millau, he was the son of the philosopher Louis Gabriel Ambroise de Bonald.
In 1845 the Conseil d'État declared Bonald guilty of abuse for a pastoral letter he wrote condemning the book Manuel de droit ecclésiastique written by André Marie Jean Jacques Dupin. In 1848 he held a memorial service for those who fell gloriously in defence of civil and religious liberty. In 1851 he nevertheless advocated in the Senate the maintenance of the temporal power of the Pope by force of arms.
