Deep dives
The Nationalization of Church Property and the Civil Constitution of the Clergy
The revolution initially nationalized church property, taking wealth and land owned by the church to meet the state's financial crisis. They also introduced the civil constitution of the clergy, which aimed to reform the Catholic Church, introduce elections for priests and bishops, and separate the French church from the authority of the Pope. The reforms created a split among the clergy, with some priests swearing loyalty to the constitution and others refusing. The conflict between the revolution and the church escalated, leading to a schism and the rise of non-constitutional clergy.
