Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gallican Church and the Revolution: A Sequel to the History of the Church of France From the Concordat of Bologna to the Revolution The present volume is a continuation of my former work on the same subject, which extended only to the threshold of the Great Revolution. The succeeding period of twenty-five years, between the meeting of the States-General in 1789 and the second Restoration of the Bourbons in 1815, abounds with exceptional, yet very obvious, difficulties in the path of the ecclesiastical student. The Gallican Church, during the earlier part of it, was emphatically "a house divided against itself;" split into two sections diametrically opposed to each other in religious thought, principle, and action. The ancient historical Church had lost its prestige as a National Establishment. Its corporate property had been confiscated. Its bishops were still bishops, its priests still priests; but the National Assembly had stripped them of territorial jurisdiction. If they continued to minister, it was by stealth, in defiance of the law, and at the risk of the gravest penalties. The Revolution had created, in their place, a body of "ecclesiastical public functionaries," who were exclusively recognised by the State, exclusively salaried by law, and exclusively charged with the spiritual guidance of the people. But their position was anomalous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
