Book excerpt: Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney (1786-1859), also known as the Cure d'Ars or St John Vianney, was a French parish priest venerated as the patron saint of all priests. Beginning in 1818 in Ars, Vianney battled against the religious ignorance in France resulting from the destruction of the Catholic Church during the French Revolution. By 1827, he was internationally famous and pilgrims came to consult him. By 1855, over 20,000 people came each year and he spent 12-18 hours a day in the confessional. Vianney was canonized as a saint in 1925."
