DUILHÉ de SAINT-PROJET, MARC-ANTOINE-FRANÇOIS. - Noted French preacher and apologist, b. at Toulouse on 15 July 1822, d. there on 15 May 1897. Ordained a priest in 1846, he taught literature and philosophy for several years at the seminary of Esquile.
In 1857 he received his doctorate in theology at the Sorbonne. His doctoral thesis, Des études religieuses en France depuis le XVIIe siècle jusqu'à nos jours, ou Essai sur les causes qui ont produit dans les temps modernes la splendeur et la décadence des sciences théologiques, was published in Paris in 1861. In that same year D. began publication of his Revue de l'année religieuse, politique, philosophique et littéraire, issued until 1866. Having abandoned teaching, he devoted himself to preaching (1858), meeting with excellent success. His apologetic Conferences on faith and science (1869 and 1870) were noteworthy. In 1875 he was appointed secretary general of the Organizing Committee of the Catholic University of Toulouse. After two years (1877) he began his apologetic Courses in the faculty of Theology; in 1879 he became dean of the faculty of Philosophy and in 1894 rector of the Institute. His activity also showed itself in the initiative of the International Congresses of Catholic Scientists.
His principal work, Apologie scientifique de la foi chrétienne, published at Toulouse in 1885, had several editions and translations.
