Pedro Descoqs SJ (French: [dɛkɔk]; 2 January 1877 – 8 November 1946) was a French Jesuit and Neo-Scholastic philosopher of the Suarezian school[1] who taught at the Jesuit scholasticate Maison Saint-Louis in Jersey.[2] Descoqs was a supporter of Action Française and opponent of the emergent nouvelle théologie, which brought him into conflict with prominent liberal Catholic intellectuals such as Maurice Blondel[3] and fellow Jesuits, including his students Henri de Lubac, Yves de Montcheuil, and Gaston Fessard[4] as well as Joseph Maréchal.[5]
