Yves Moreau de Montcheuil SJ (French pronunciation: [iv mɔ.ʁo də mɔ̃ʃœj]; 30 January 1900 – 8 August 1944) was a Jesuit priest, philosopher, and theologian.
[3] He studied at the novitiate in Jersey under Pedro Descoqs, whose support of Action Française and opposition to the emergent nouvelle theólogie and thought of Maurice Blondel led to discord.
[10] Maurice Blondel's views and nouvelle théologie were initially deeply controversial and some of De Montcheuil's works were briefly censored after his death and the publication of the encyclical Humani generis.
[11] De Montcheuil also wrote on ecclesiology, emphasizing the mystical union of the church in a manner similar to that of the Catholic Tübingen school.
[15] De Montcheuil is considered a forerunner of liberation theology, as Gustavo Gutierrez studied his work and argued that De Montcheuil's rejection of the nature-grace dualism of Neo-Scholasticism provided the basis for a political theology superior to that of Jacques Maritain, whose alternative to the Neo-Scholastic paradigm in politics Gutierrez still found insufficient.
