Honoratus a Sancta Maria (1651–1729) was a French Discalced Carmelite, known as a prolific controversialist.
On completing his course of studies he decided on the missionary life, and was accordingly sent to Malta to prepare for the East.
But the superiors detained him there as a sub-prior, and at the expiration of his term of office he returned to France without having been to the missions.
He successively filled the posts of professor of philosophy and theology, prior, provincial, and visitor general.
He dealt with the burning religious questions of his time: Quietism, Jansenism, Gallicanism; but also with Cartesianism in philosophy, and rationalism in the relationship of scripture and history.
