- Comme cette nature de détails pourrait, particulièrement au moment où nous sommes, et pour nous servir d'une expression actuellement à la mode, donner à l'évêque de Digne une certaine physionomie «panthéiste», et faire croire, soit à son blâme, soit à sa louange, qu'il y avait en lui une de ces philosophies personnelles, propres à notre siècle, qui germent quelquefois dans les esprits solitaires et s'y construisent et y grandissent jusqu'à y remplacer les religions, nous insistons sur ceci que pas un de ceux qui ont connu monseigneur Bienvenu ne se fût cru **autorisé** à penser rien de pareil.
