Career
Carrière was the first writer of note to treat theology in its relations to the Napoleonic Code. The following year, he was appointed to teach the postgraduate course of moral theology at this seminary. In 1829 Carrière came to America in the capacity of official Visitor to the Sulpician houses, and was invited to take part in the First Provincial Council of Baltimore.
Conservative in temperament and by education, Carrière was one of the first to combat the ideas of the Abbé de Lamennais.
