19th-century French Cardinals
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was Abolitionism, abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems an ...

Saint-Sulpice Seminary (Issy-les-Moulineaux)
The Saint-Sulpice Seminary () is a Catholic seminary run by the Society of the Priests of Saint Sulpice, located in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. History The Saint-Sulpice Seminary was established in 1641 in the village of Vaugirard (now part of Paris) by Jean-Jacques Olier, the founder of the Society of the Priests of Saint Sulpice. Two other priests, François de Coulet and Jean Du Ferrier, were also instrumental in its founding. When Olier was appointed the pastor of Saint-Sulpice Church in Paris in July or August 1642, he moved the seminary to that parish, where he remained superior of the seminary. He recruited several priests to teach with him, and adopted a new model for seminaries, in which adults from different areas were brought together for preparation for the priesthood, instead of adolescents who lived nearby. By the following year, the school had a faculty of 30 priests. On 23 October 1645 received its letters patent from the King Louis XIV. The seminary's n ...

Monsignor
Monsignor (; ) is a form of address or title for certain members of the clergy in the Catholic Church. Monsignor is the apocopic form of the Italian ''monsignore'', meaning "my lord". "Monsignor" can be abbreviated as Mons.... or Msgr. In some countries, the title "monsignor" is used as a form of address for bishops. However, in English-speaking countries, the title is unrelated to the episcopacy, though many priests with the title later become bishops. The title "monsignor" is a form of address, not an appointment (such as a bishop or cardinal). A priest cannot be "made a monsignor" or become "the monsignor of a parish". The title "Monsignor" is normally used by clergy who have received one of the three classes of papal honors: * Protonotary apostolic (the highest honored class) * Honorary prelate * Chaplain of His Holiness (the lowest honored class) The pope bestows these honors upon clergy who: * Have rendered a valuable service to the church * Provide some special funct ...
