They are known as '''Bérullians''' or '''Oratorians.''' The French Oratory had a determinant influence on the [[French school of spirituality]] throughout the 17th century. It is separate and distinct from the [[Oratory of Saint Philip Neri]], which served as its inspiration.<br /> <br /> The aim of the Society is to center spiritual life on the human aspect of [[Jesus]], linked to the essence of God. Unlike the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, whose communities are all autonomous, the French Oratory operates under the central authority of a [[Superior General]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * 1.
