TL;DR: Many texts and visual images produced in France from the later seventeenth century through the mid-eighteenth century displayed a concern with idolatry as mentioned in this paper, and several public political and religious monuments appear to have been created partly in reaction to their charges.
Abstract: Many texts and visual images produced in France from the later seventeenth century through the mid-eighteenth displayed a concern with idolatry. Literary figures from La Fontaine to Voltaire, ecclesiastics including Bossuet and Jurieu, and antiquarians and theorists of art such as Charles Perrault, La Font de Saint-Yenne and Antoine Le Mierre also associated the worship of false gods with sculpture. Bound up with interest in ancient and non- European mores and forms of worship, the idolatry-sculpture linkage also fed into contemporary political and religious debates. Huguenots, Jansenists, and philosophes utilized the connection to assist in promoting their views. Several public political and religious monuments appear to have been created partly in reaction to their charges.

TL;DR: Moreau was to pursue the campaign outlined in this document for the next thirty years, for the greater part of which period he enjoyed the official title of historiographer-royal as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In 1760, at the end of a decade of bitter constitutional struggle in France, a confidential memorandum circulated in ministerial circles at Versailles under the title “Principes de conduite avec les parlements.” A powerful blueprint for ideological action in defense of the absolute monarchy, it was drafted by a young lawyer and government propagandist, Jacob- Nicolas Moreau. He was to pursue the campaign outlined in this document for the next thirty years, for the greater part of which period he enjoyed the official title of historiographer-royal. An analysis of his activities and arguments in this regard reveals some interesting dimensions of the process of ideological elaboration that occurred in France during the last decades of the Old Regime. Moreau was born in 1717 at Saint-Florentin in Burgundy, the son of a “hardened Jansenist” obliged by his religious convictions to abandon a prospective ecclesiastical career for the traditional family practice of the law. Brought up a “good little Jansenist,” as he confessed in his Souvenirs , he was sent to Paris in 1734 to be educated at the College de Beauvais, then one of the principal centers of Jansenism. His father's contacts brought him a ready entry into Jansenist and legal circles in the capital, where he was taken under the wing of the devout magistrate Jerome-Nicolas de Pâris (brother of the miracle-working deacon of Saint-Medard) and enjoyed the patronage of the family of Chancellor d'Aguesseau (whose grandchildren he briefly tutored).

TL;DR: When the Parisian lawyer Matthieu Marais complained in 1729 that he was "very tired of the Constitution,"1 he referred not to the unwritten constitution of the realm but to the papal Constitution, Unigenitus (1713), which condemned one hundred one allegedly erroneous propositions extracted from Pasquier Quesnel's Jansenist commentary on the New Testament as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: When the Parisian lawyer Matthieu Marais complained in 1729 that he was "very tired of the Constitution,"1 he referred not to the unwritten constitution of the realm but to the papal Constitution, Unigenitus (1713), which condemned one hundred one allegedly erroneous propositions extracted from Pasquier Quesnel's Jansenist commentary on the New Testament. Designed by Rome and Versailles to seal doctrinal orthodoxy in France after half a century of dissension over the workings of divine grace, this notorious bull instead provoked decades of disruptive debate about the religious and political traditions of the kingdom. The interminable disputes generated by the Constitution may have bored Marais, but they had momentous constitutional consequences. The prolonged conflicts of the crown, the clergy, and the parlements over the relationship between spiritual and temporal power and the fundamental laws of the realm contributed as much as, if not more than, the Enlightenment to the undermining of the traditional order before the Revolution. The controversies of 1730-32, witnessed by Marais, set the pattern for these conflicts, which lasted long after his death. The following account and analysis, which uses previously unconsulted archival materials, rereads the confrontations of these years as a revealing episode in the ideological disintegration of the Old Regime.2
