This paper considers French ecclesiastical rhetoric in the Romantic era, focusing on Lacordaire’s and Lamennais’ contrasting views on the role of eloquence in religious discourse. It argues that Lacordaire, despite employing secular language in his Conférences remains a classicist religious orator, whereas Lammenais expresses his deep distrust of the spoken word and condemns eloquence, turning to letters and political discourse. The comparison of the two concepts can be seen as an exemplification of the transition from littérature-discours to littérature-texte, a general phenomenon in the French Romantic literature as described by Alain Vaillant.

The paper concerns the formal side of the discourse of religious modernism in XIX century. Focusing on one of the most representative philosophers of this approach – Hugenes Félicité Robert de Lamennais – I try to sketch some primary rules of modernism. My thesis is quite simple. The religious modernism is a good exponent of a popular attempt to materialise the language. By materialisation of language I understand the abandoning of the traditional semantic approach to the language, important especially in case of understanding the moral language of thomism, and replacing it by a quasi-physical one based on spatial and geometrical metaphors.
