DUPANLOUP, See also:FELIX See also:ANTOINE PHILIBERT (1802–1878) , See also:French ecclesiastic, was See also:born at St Felix in See also:Savoy on the 3rd of See also:January 1802. In his earliest years he was confided to the care of his See also:brother, a See also:priest in the See also:diocese of See also:Chambery. In 1810 he was sent to a pensionnat ecclesiastique at See also:Paris. Thence he went to the See also:seminary of St See also:Nicolas de Chardonnel in 1813, and was transferred to the seminary of St Sulpice at Paris in 1820. In 1825 he was ordained priest, and was appointed See also:vicar of the Madeleine at Paris. For a See also:time he was See also:tutor to the See also:Orleans princes. He became the founder of the celebrated See also:academy at St Hyacinthe, and received a See also:letter from See also:Gregory XVI. eulogizing his See also:work there, and calling him Apostolus juventutis. His imposing height, his See also:noble features, his brilliant eloquence, as well as his renown for zeal and charity, made him a prominent feature in French See also:life for many years. Crowds of persons attended his addresses, on whom his See also:energy, command of See also:language, powerful See also:voice and impassioned gestures made a profound impression. When made See also:bishop of Orleans in 1849, he pronounced a fervid See also:panegyric on See also:Joan of Arc, which attracted See also:attention in See also:England as well as See also:France. Before this he had been sent by See also:Archbishop See also:Affre to See also:Rome, and had been appointed See also:Roman See also:prelate and protonotary apostolic. For See also:thirty years he remained a notable figure in France, doing his utmost to arouse his countrymen from religious indifference.

In ecclesiastical policy his views were moderate; thus he opposed the See also:

definition of the See also:dogma of papal See also:infallibility both before and during the Vatican See also:council, but was among the first to accept the dogma when decreed. He was a distinguished educationist who fought for the retention of the Latin See also:classics in the See also:schools and instituted the celebrated catechetical method of St Sulpice. Among his publications are De l'See also:education (1850), De la haute education intellectuelle (3 vols., 1866), tEuvres choisies (1861, 4 vols.); Histoire de Jesus (1872), a counterblast to See also:Renan's See also:Vie de Jesus. He died on the Irth of See also:October 1878. See Life by F. See also:Lagrange (Eng. tr. by See also:Lady See also:Herbert, See also:London, 1885).
