AB - Even though, in the 17th century, the Essais were in the Index and his pyrrhonism was considered as a veil of the atheism, Montaigne’s religion was catholic. He was born catholic, remains catholic, and died catholic. He tried to convert those around him.
The pyrrhonism was, for him, a tool which was used to accuse the protestantism of the presumption. Based on the pyrrhonism and the agnosticism, he attached more importance to the means than to the aim, to the result than to the intention. He rejected the means and the result which accompanied with the violence. He thought that the religious War was no other than the violence caused by the presumption. The Huguenots were the first responsible for this tragedy, but the catholic Sainte Ligue was not immune.
The reason why he criticized the Sainte Ligue was that it menaced in the name of religion the French monarchy. As a French, he wanted to safeguard France from Spain, and as a catholic, he practiced the teaching of the church, which was the obedience to the king. In spite of his own religion, he accepted willingly Henri de Navarre who was Huguenot as the protector of the country, and made an effort to convert him to the catholicism, which was crucial to the destiny of himself and the country.
Montaigne’s attitude toward the protestantism changed as the religious war intensified. He opposed to the tolerant decree of 1562 in the hope of the religious concord. But the uncontrollable violence made him accept not only the tolerance, but also the liberty of conscience. Such an open mind was uncommon for his time.
