After the first decisive decree of the parlement of August 6th 1761, the French Jesuits, who had not commented on the Portuguese affair up to then, began to respond to attacks and finally engaged in the public debate. For the most part, their rebuttals were constructed as responses to a single anti-Jesuit pamphlet  or to an official document, which they attempted to refute point by point in a quite scholastic manner. Many French Jesuits responded to the accusations with the knowledge and consent of their superiors, but on condition that they show due respect to the parlement. Others, however, like Theodore Lombard  (1699/1708 – c. 1770)  from Toulouse or André Christophe Balbany from Marseilles, acted more independently and their compositions took on the aggressive style of the pamphlet debate. In general, however, the Jesuits were considerably constrained in their attempts to defend the order, as General Lorenzo Ricci (1703–1775)  in Rome had forbidden his French confreres to comment on the awkward question of Gallicanism at all.
