SALINAS, LOUIS-ANTOINE DE. - Apologist, b. 11 Aug. 1798 at Morlaas, d. 30 Jan. 1861 at Auch. Chaplain at the Collège Henri IV, after his studies at St. Sulpice, he soon distinguished himself by his polemical ardour in favour of the Catholic cause. A supporter of Lamennais (v.), he broke away from him after the condemnation.
He was professor of Sacred Scripture at the Athenaeum of Bordeaux and vicar general in 1840. Bishop of Amiens in 1849, he was transferred in 1856 to the archdiocese of Auch, where, in order to combat Gallicanism more effectively, he restored the Roman rite. A shrewd organizer, from his youth, together with other eminent figures, he contributed to the founding of institutions highly deserving of credit for the Christian orientation of culture, such as the Mémorial catholique, the Correspondant, the Oeuvre de bons livres, the Société de bonnes Etudes. The spiritualist orientation which, under the influence of Cousin (v.), characterized the philosophy of the age, is found in his work Précis d'histoire de la philosophie (s. l. 1834; 3rd ed. 1847), written in collaboration with the priest Scorbiac. Also worthy of note: Mandements (s. l. 1857) and La divinité de l'Église (4 vols., Paris 1865).
