Most of these conflicts he lost and more than once he had to submit in one way or another to the Franch king, Louis XIV. Louis, in turn, actively supported the pope's rivals in Rome and refused to help with a crusade against the Turks. Alexander VII had a bit more success when it came to theological matters. He declared, for example, that Jesuit missionaries in China could use Chinese in rites and Chinese priests didn't have to pray the Divine Office in Latin. He condemned the Cornelius Jansen's teachings, partially at the behest of the French king. Alexander VII was also a great patron of the arts. In particular, he paid for a number of important works by Bernini. The most famous of these is probably the free-standing colonnade surrounding St. Peter's square in Rome. The colonnade was designed to help enclose the large crowds that appear every year at Easter without also creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. Bernini even created Alexander's tomb.
