French theologian, born at Amiens, 1572; died at Paris, 1663. He studied at the
Jesuit college of his native place, took the doctorate of theology at the
University of Paris, 1626, and soon became president of the Collège de Navarre
and syndic of the Sorbonne or faculty of theology. In this latter capacity he
reported to the assembly of the Sorbonne, 1649, seven propositions, two taken
from Arnauld's "Fréquente Communion" and five from the "Augustinus" of
Jansenius. In spite of strong opposition created by members of the faculty who,
with Saint-Amour, appealed to Parliament and by Jansenists like De Bourseis in
"Propositiones de gratiâ in Sorbonnæ facultate prope diem examinandæ, propositæ
Cal. Junii 1649", and Arnauld in "Considérations sur l'entreprise faite par M.
Cornet, syndic de la faculté, en l'assemblée de Juillet 1649", he succeeded in
having the Assembly of the Clergy of 1650 denounce the five propositions of the
"Augustinus" to Pope Innocent X, who condemned them, 31 May, 1653 (Denzinger,
Enchiridion, nos. 1092 (966) sqq.). Maligned by Jansenist writers like Hermant,
Cornet was held in high esteem by Richelieu and Mazarin. His eulogy was
pronounced by no less a personage than Bossuet himself (Oraison funèbre de
Messire Nicolas Cornet). He left no writings, but is said to have collaborated
with Richelieu on the "Méthodes de controverse".
