Jean de Bonnefon was born on March 22, 1867, in Calvinet, Cantal.[1] His father, born Charles Bonnefon, changed his patronymic surname to Charles de Bonnefon in 1855; the nobiliary particle had been dropped by the family during the French Revolution.[2] His mother was Marie Valentin.[2]
Bonnefon was the subject of controversy for the publication in 1906 of a pamphlet (Lourdes et ses tenanciers), where he attacked the Lourdes apparitions as false. In it, Bonnefon claimed to have retrieved a letter, dated 28 December 1857, which allegedly proved that local authorities were aware that a false religious apparition was being prepared due to political reasons.[4] The letter, which is not present in the Archives Nationales and whose original was never found (Bonnefon claimed to have received a copy of it from an anonymous "intermediary"[5]) has been deemed a forgery by several authors such as René Laurentin and Georges Bertrin, who point out how its content is contradicted by several certified documents of the time and how the language in it is contrary to the administrative uses of the Second French Empire.[6][7]
