Bonalists

Bonalists

The Bonalists or the Congregation of the Priests of St. Mary is a defunct French congregation of Catholic priests founded by the theologian Raymond Bonal. [CathEncy|url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02646c.htm|title=Raymond Bonal]

The congregation was approved in 1665 by Pope Alexander VII and in 1678 by King Louis XIV. The order ran a number of seminaries. These seminaries gradually lost students and eventually the congregation was absorbed by the Lazarists.
