François-Jean-Hyacinthe Feutrier (3 April 1785 – 27 June 1830) was a French Catholic priest who became Bishop of Beauvais. He was Minister of Religious Affairs from 3 March to 8 August 1829. He caused a storm of protest from the other bishops in France when he signed an ordinance aimed at restricting the influence of the church in schools.
François-Hyacinthe-Jean Feutrier was born in Paris on 3 April 1785. He studied at the seminary of Saint-Sulpice under Abbé Emery, and embraced a career in the church.[1] He was ordained a priest on 27 May 1809.[2] Feutrier was named secretary-general of the high chaplaincy by Cardinal Joseph Fesch. The cardinal also helped him to become a member of the council convoked in Paris by Napoleon to settle disputes between the French government and Pope Pius VII. He contributed to that council's resistance to the emperor's wishes.[1]
After the first Bourbon Restoration, Archbishop Talleyrand-Périgord of Reims, high chaplain of France, sponsored Feutrier, whose position in the high chaplaincy was confirmed by King Louis XVIII of France. Feutrier left during the Hundred Days when Napoleon returned from exile, despite the assurances of Cardinal Fesch, then was re-installed after the return of the king. He was soon made honorary canon of the royal chapel of Saint-Denis, then curé of La Madeleine, Paris. In this position he demonstrated piety, charity and great energy. His sermons were remarkable. On 8 May 1821 he pronounced the panegyric on Joan of Arc in Orléans Cathedral.[1]
In February 1823 Feutrier was named vicar-general of the diocese of Paris and a member of the diocese council of the Archbishop, Mgr. Hyacinthe-Louis de Quélen.[1] He was selected Bishop of Beauvais on 26 January 1825, confirmed as bishop on 21 March 1825 and ordained on 24 April 1825 by Hyacinthe-Louis de Quélen, Archbishop of Paris.[2]
On 16 June 1828 two ordinances by King Charles X of France were issued, one countersigned by Joseph-Marie, comte Portalis and the other by Feutrier.[5] The first, intended to reduce the influence of the church in education, limited the number of pupils in ecclesiastic schools to 20,000, and obliged the pupils to start wearing the clerical habit after two years since the schools were considered junior seminaries. The other ordinance required all teachers to sign a document in which they declared that they did not belong to any unauthorized religious congregation. This was mainly aimed at the Jesuits. The bishops reacted angrily and Feutrier was denounced as a traitor.[6] The bishops, headed by Clermont-Tonerre, addressed a memorandum of protest to the king.[7] Charles X had to ask Pope Leo XII to intervene to calm things down.[6]
Feutrier left office on 8 August 1829 when the Martignac ministry was dismissed.[4] He was given the title of Count and made a peer of France. He was a member of the Legion of Honor. His health gradually deteriorated, and he visited Paris to consult with doctors.[1] Feutrier was found dead in his bed there on 27 June 1830, aged forty-five.[8] An autopsy found the cause was an effusion on the brain.[1]
