Noël de La Lane
Noël de La Lane (1618 – 1673) was a French Roman Catholic priest and Jansenist theologian.
Biography
Noël de La Lane was born into a good family in Paris. A doctor in theology, and later Abbé de Valcroissant, La Lane was eminent for his learning and his active defence of Jansenius, both in France and in Rome.
He was the author of an important work on Augustinian doctrine, entitled De la grâce victorieuse de Jésus-Christ, or Molina et ses disciples convaincus de l'erreur des Pélagiens et des semi-Pélagiens sur le point de la grâce suffisante soumise au libre-arbitre (1651).
Alongside Gorin de Saint-Amour, Nicolas Manessier, Toussaint Desmares and Louis Angran, he authored a pamphlet entitled Distinction abrégée des cinq propositions, intended to present Pope Innocent X with the various doctrines on grace, and to show that only Augustinian doctrine was faithful to tradition. The work became known as the Écrit à trois colonnes, due to its typographical presentation.
