Question

How did the Catholic Church and Catholicism position in French society change under napoleon

Answer 1

The relations improved and church was once more an important factor in the society.

Explanation:

• An important role in Napoleon's politics was to improve relations with the Catholic Church, as he needed the support of Catholics, who were mostly in France, who were dissatisfied with their attitude to the Church since the beginning of the Revolution, and especially because of the "Civic Decree" of 1791.
• The concordat with the pope (Pius VII) was signed in 1801, and by this agreement the bishops reaffirmed the pope by appointing them a consul; the clergy continued to be sworn to respect for state power, and in return they were paid.
• Catholicism was recognized as a majority religion, but the same rights were also given to other denominations; no return of church property sold during the Revolution; most of the ecclesiastical orders were restored and the Gregorian calendar was restored.
