Confining our research to the written scheme, does the religions order correspond to the Utopian and Sectarian model? This paper attempts to answer this question through a comparative study of one case, that of the Clerics of Saint Viator, founded at Vourles (near Lyon) around 1812. The analysis of those documents dealing explicitly with this congregation found them to oe of little signifiance. Attention was therefore turned to the dream of Louis Querbes as researched through his sermons and through the biography (written some time before the drafting of the just rules of the Clerics of Saint Viator) of Augustin de Lestrange, a Trappist reformer.
