a more formidable enemy appeared in bossuet, who, during a public thesis at the collège de navarre in 1692, condemned dupin's audacity. dupin answered him and bossuet appealed to the civil authority, denouncing dupin to the chancellor of france, louis boucherat and to archbishop de harlay of paris. bossuet simply enumerated the points in the "bibliothèque" of which he disapproved. these concerned original sin, purgatory, the canonicity of the sacred scriptures, the eternity of hell's torments, the veneration of saints and of their relics, the adoration of the cross, grace, the pope and the bishops, lent, divorce, the celibacy of the clergy, tradition, the eucharist, the theology of the trinity, and the council of nicæa. he demanded a censure and a retractation.
