Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the ecclesiastical establishment in France under King Louis XVI. The author provides a detailed account of the seizure of ecclesiastical property, the suppression of monastic orders, and the restructuring of the French clergy during this period. The author argues that the French Revolution's radical treatment of the church was part of a broader pattern of anti-clericalism that had been growing in France for centuries. The book also explores the impact of the revolution on the role of religion in French society, as well as the broader implications of the revolution for the relationship between church and state. The author concludes by arguing that the French Revolution represented a watershed moment in the history of the church, and that its impact is still being felt today.
