Jansenism was a theology that emphasized original sin, human depravity, the necessity of divine grace, and predestination, which Pope Innocent X condemned as heresy in 1655 — especially the relationship between human free will and efficacious grace, wherein the teachings of Augustine contradicted the teachings of the Jesuit School. The theology originated from the works of the Dutch theologian Cornelius Otto Jansen, during the Counter-Reformation (1563–1648), but after the Council of Trent (1545–1563); and from the 16th to the 18th centuries, Jansenism was a distinct movement within the Roman Catholic Church. The theological centre of the movement was the Parisian convent of Port-Royal, which was a haven for writers such as Antoine Arnauld, Pierre Nicole, Blaise Pascal, Jean Racine, et al. Because the Jansenists identified themselves as rigorous followers of Augustinism, the Jesuits coined the term Jansenism to identify them as having Calvinist affinities.
