Jansensism was a somewhat conservative and restrictive religious sect within Roman Catholicism. It originated in the Netherlands ( as did the Huguenot movement) but spread to France. Needless to say it no longer exists. The Jansenists taking the ( Lord I am not worthy) hymn-lyric literally, tended to discourage frequent use of the sacraments by laymen.
