VEUILLOT, See also:LOUIS (1813–1883) , See also:French journalist and See also:man of letters, was See also:born of humble parents at Boynes (Loiret) on the 11th of See also:October 1813. When Louis Veuillot was five years old his parents removed to See also:Paris. After a very slight See also:education he entered a lawyer's See also:office, and was sent in 1830 to serve on a See also:Rouen See also:paper, and afterwards to Perigueux. He returned to Paris in 1837, and a See also:year later visited See also:Rome during See also:Holy See also:Week. There he embraced extravagant ultramontane sentiments, and was from that See also:time an ardent See also:champion of Catholicism. The results of his See also:conversion appeared in Pelerinage en Suisse (1839), Rome at Lorette (1841) and other See also:works, In 1843 he entered the See also:staff of the Univers religieux. His violent methods of journalism had already provoked more than one See also:duel, and for his polemics against the university of Paris in the Univers he was imprisoned for a See also:short time. In 1848 he became editor of the paper, which was suppressed in 186o, but revived in 1867, when Veuillot recommenced his ultra-montane propaganda, which brought about a second suppression of his See also:journal in 1874. When his paper was suppressed Veuillot occupied himself in See also:writing violent See also:pamphlets directed against the moderate Catholics, the Second See also:Empire and the See also:Italian See also:government. His services to the papal see were fully recognized by See also:Pius IX., on whom he wrote (1878) a monograph. He died on the 7th of See also:March 1883. Some of his scattered papers were collected in Melanges religieux, historiques et litteraires (12 vols., 1857–75), and his Correspondance (6 vols., 1883–85) has See also:great See also:political See also:interest.

His younger See also:

brother, See also:Eugene Veuillot, published (1901–4) a comprehensive and valuable See also:life, Louis Veuillot.
