Others were not so much his disciples as his opponents,for example he was in dispute with Arnauld for many years.
Clement XI seemed about to make Arnauld a cardinal when the problem of the Jansenists came up again.
Their oldest child was Robert, born in 1588,while their youngest was Antoine Arnauld, the subject of this biography.
Arnauld, with spiritual advice from Saint-Cyran, wrote On Frequent Communion in 1643 and, in the same year, Moral Theology of the Jesuits.
Through the influence of Saint-Cyran nine of the ten Arnauld children, and many of their children, became staunch Jansenists.
Arnauld corresponded with many of the leading mathematicians and scientists throughout his life and exerted quite a considerable influence.
However, in January 1669 Pope Clement IX made an agreement, called the Peace of Clement IX,which suspended persecution of the Jansenists and Arnauld had ten years of relative peace.
Arnauld called himself a follower of St Augustine, which of course was not unreasonable since Jansen had based his beliefs on those of St Augustine.
During this period there was a disagreement between Louis XIV and the Pope which meant that their attention was diverted from the Jansenists andLouis XIV saw a Catholic ally in Arnauld who turned his writings to attacking Calvinists rather than Jesuits.

In 1655 Arnauld supported the Jansenists in two pamphlets and again he was on dangerous ground since Pope Innocent X had condemned five propositions in the Augustinus two years earlier.
In fact although Pascal died in 1662,his influence on Arnauld was clearly seen in the important works which he produced through the period that he led the resistance to the attacks on the Jansenists.
It was a period when Arnauld also found favour with Pope Clement XI who was particularly pleased with his writings on disputed areas between the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches.
These were written in defence of his friend Antoine Arnauld, an opponent of the Jesuits and a defender of Jansenism, who was on trial before the faculty of theology in Paris for his controversial religious works.
Criticism of his work,in particular by Arnauld, led to Malebranche's publication of Traité de la nature et de la grâce(1680), which was banned by the Roman Catholic Church ten years later.
