===Relations with France=== {{Infobox popestyles |image = C o a Inocentius X.svg |dipstyle = [[His Holiness]] |offstyle = Your Holiness |relstyle = Holy Father |deathstyle = None |}} Pamphili chose to be called Innocent X. Soon after his accession he initiated legal action against the [[Barberini family]] for misappropriation of public funds. The brothers [[Francesco Barberini (1597β1679)|Francesco Barberini]], [[Antonio Barberini]] and [[Taddeo Barberini]] fled to Paris, where they found a powerful protector in Cardinal Mazarin.<ref>George L. Williams, ''Popal Genealogy: The Families And Descendants Of The Popes'', (McFarland & Co., 1998), 109. {{ISBN?}}</ref> Innocent X confiscated their property, and on 19 February 1646, issued a [[papal bull]] decreeing that all cardinals who might leave the [[Papal States]] for six months without express papal permission would be deprived of their [[benefice]]s and eventually of their cardinalate itself. The French [[Parlement of Paris]] declared the papal ordinance void in France, but Innocent X did not yield until Mazarin prepared to send troops to Italy. Henceforth the papal policy towards France became more friendly, and somewhat later the Barberini were rehabilitated when the son of Taddeo Barberini, [[Maffeo Barberini (1631β1685)|Maffeo Barberini]], married [[Olimpia Giustiniani]], a niece of Innocent X. In 1653, Innocent X, with the ''[[Cum occasione]]'' [[papal bull]], condemned five propositions of [[Jansenius]]'s ''[[Augustinus (Jansenist book)|Augustinus]]'',<ref>"Jansenism", Raymond A. Blacketer, ''The New Westminster Dictionary of Church History: The Early, Medieval, and Reformation Era'', Ed. Robert Benedetto, (Westminster John Knox Press, 2008), 348.</ref> as heretical and close to [[Lutheranism]]. This led to the [[formulary controversy]], [[Blaise Pascal]]'s writing of the ''[[Lettres Provinciales]]'', and finally to the razing of the [[Jansenist]] convent of [[Port-Royal-des-Champs|Port-Royal]] and the subsequent dissolving of its community.
