About 30 years ago I was chatting with some folks at a party about

It's a misprint of dévot. They were a kind of hard-right Catholic puritan 
cabal, most notably the Company of the Holy Sacrament, of 17th-century France, 
with a fanatical devotion to Pope, who took it upon themselves to guarantee the 
doctrinal purity of France in the face of Protestantism and Jansenism.
