Quietism
17th-century movement emphasising complete passivity and the "prayer of quiet" before God. The ideal is to abandon all desires, even for virtue, love of Christ, or salvation, as well as all outward acts of devotion, and simply rest in the presence of God. Notable Quietist writers include de Molinos, Guyon, and Archbishop Fenelon. Pope Innocent XI condemned Quietism and Molinos on November 19, 1687.
