Excerpt from La Situation Économique du Clergé à la Veille de la Révolution dans les Districts de Rennes, de Fougères Et de Vitré
D'ailleurs, les anciennes circonscriptions ecclésiastiques ne présentaient, en ce qui concerne la situation économique du clergé, aucun intérêt particulier. Souvent, un même établis sement percevait des revenus et acquittait des charges en différents diocèses. Chaque établissement, chaque bénéficiaire, administrait séparément son temporel, et il n'y avait pas de budget diocésain.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book offers a comprehensive analysis of the financial state of the Church on the eve of the French Revolution. The author meticulously examines ecclesiastical income and assets across three districts in the province of Brittany, drawing upon an extensive range of sources including tax records, property surveys, and financial accounts. The author paints a detailed picture of the vast wealth accumulated by the Church, which played a significant role in shaping economic and social relations in pre-revolutionary France. The book explores the distribution of wealth among different ecclesiastical institutions, highlighting the disparity between wealthy abbeys and struggling parishes. It also delves into the complex system of tithes and other forms of income that sustained the Church. Beyond its historical significance, this book's insights into the economic foundations of the Church provide a valuable perspective on the broader social and political dynamics of the period. It sheds light on the growing resentment towards the Church's privileges and the financial burdens it imposed on the peasantry, contributing to the revolutionary fervor that would ultimately sweep away the ancien rà gime.
