Bonalists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1]
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.
