Everything about Louis-antoine Cardinal De Noailles totally explained
Louis-Antoine de Noailles (
27 May 1651–
4 May 1729), second son of
Anne, 1st duc de Noailles, was a
French bishop and
cardinal.
Noailles received his
doctorate in
theology from the
Sorbonne on
14 March 1676. He was appointed
bishop of Cahors in March
1679 but served only briefly before
Pope Innocent XI ordered him transferred in
1680 to head the
diocese of Châlons-sur-Marne, which made him a
peer of France. On
19 August 1695, in recognition of Noailles's family connections,
King Louis XIV made him
archbishop of Paris and
duc de Saint-Cloud, and in
1700 Pope Innocent XII made him a cardinal.
"Lacking in brilliant qualities", according to the
Catholic Encyclopedia, "he was possessed of piety, zeal, and activity."

) He is noted for having raised money to feed
famine victims by selling his silver tableware in
1709, and for having spent a considerable part of his inheritance on redecorating
Notre Dame.
Noailles was a friend of
François Fénelon, with whom he'd studied at the
Collège du Plessis before entering the Sorbonne. Nonetheless, he was among the bishops who condemend Fénelon's
Maximes des Saints, ending the theologian's career.
Noailles had a complex relationship with the
Jansenists; while he condemned their propositions, more orthodox theologians saw in his own teachings hints of Jansenism, and Noailles was an opponent of the
Jesuits in their attacks on the sect. His position on
Pope Clement XI's
1713 bull Unigenitus was also controversial; he opposed it, despite papal disapproval, up to
1728 but then abruptly reversed himself shortly before his death.
He was succeeded as archbishop of Paris and duc de Saint-Cloud by
Charles-Gaspard-Guillaume de Vintimille du Luc.
