From 1704 to 1714, Fénelon published many texts about jansenist quarrel which tried to persuade the public that jansenism can be identified with the thesis according to which the efficiency of divine grace consists in an attraction of victorious delectation which always denies free will the possibility to resist to it. The present works aims at showing that, after his death, Fénelon has been considered as the main responsible of the change of the conceptual trajectory of the antijansenist quarrel. The consequences of this change have been crucial until the end of the 18th Century and, after the works of Fénelon, the notion of victorious delectation was surely the main point in the discussion between molinists and jansenists.
