Bédien Morange

Bédien Morange (born in Paris and died in 1703 in Lyon), was a French theologian.

In 1660, he became canon and cantor of the Église Saint-Nizier (Lyon) and then was general vicar of the diocese.

[1] He devoted himself especially to refute the theory of Isaac de la Peyrère, who held that the Old Testament proves that there were men before Adam, and he wrote a catechism for his diocese, Summa universœ Theologiae Catéchistae.

He was a member of the Compagnie du Saint-Sacrement.

[2] The epistle Instructions pour les confesseurs by Jesuit Gaspard Loarte was dedicated to him.
