BONALD, LOUIS-JACQUES-MAURICE de — Cardinal, son of the philosopher, born at Millau in the Auvergne on 30 October 1787, died at Lyon on 25 February 1870. Ordained priest in 1811, he was for a time chaplain to the Dauphin of France (Charles X). Vicar general of the diocese of Chartres, on 13 March 1823 he was elected Bishop of Le Puy (the first since 1789), and in 1839 succeeded Cardinal Fesch as Archbishop of Lyon and Primate of France, receiving the red hat in 1841. In 1852 he was created a senator.
A champion of the struggle against Gallicanism, he worked to eradicate its last remnants, reaffirming the Gallican articles and condemning the work of a Gallican zealot supported by the government, Dupin: *Manuel de droit canonique*. He promoted the reform of the liturgical books of the Gallican rite to expunge Jansenist infiltrations. Opposing the state monopoly of education, he defended the rights of the freedom of teaching. Of his written works he left only: *Mandements et Lettres pastorales*, published by Migne in the collection *Orationes sacrées* (Paris, 2nd series, XIV).
