About the author

Msgr. Félix Antoine Philibert Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, was born at Saint-Félix, in Haute-Savoie, an illegitimate son of Prince Camillo Borghese. In his earliest years he was confided to the care of his brother, a priest in the diocese of Chambéry. In 1825 he was ordained priest, and was appointed vicar of the Madeleine at Paris. For a time he was tutor to the Orléans princes. He became the founder of a celebrated academy at St Hyacinthe. He was elected to the Académie française in 1854, occupying the thirty-eighth chair.

When made bishop of Orléans in 1849, he pronounced a fervid panegyric on Joan of Arc, which attracted attention in England as well as France. Joan of Arc was later canonized, due partly to Dupanloup's efforts.

For thirty years he remained a notable figure in France, doing his utmost to arouse his countrymen from religious indifference.

Dupanloup died on 11 October 1878 at the château of La Combe-de-Lancey.
