In her essay on Unigenitus (1713), the papal bull that condemned 101 propositions taken from the Jansenist theologian Pasquier Quesnel (1634-1719), Maire maintains that Jansenism was condemned on account of its association with Gallicanism. Jan Roegiers addresses the collection's theme at the outset of his essay on the political dimensions of Jansenism and anti-Jansenism.

Gallicanism, Erastianism, and related Conciliarist movements are also representative of this trend.

Among the other essays is one by Therese-Marie Jallais, who discovered the Wansleben manuscript, which takes up the affinities between Harrington's republicanism and other movements, such as Jansenism and Gallicanism. The fact that Harrington's ideas could be embraced by Catholics is an eye opener in the sense that Catholicism has often been identified with absolutism.

As the ofspring of Renaissance liberalism, Gallicanism upheld French sovereignty against papal interventions into domestic political and religious affairs.

("Gallicanism," a term originating in France, came to refer to the State's intervention in appointments of bishops and other leaders, with the attendant dangers that, say, the Chinese Patriotic Church run by the Communist government displays today.)
