This book explores the responses of the Roman Catholic Church to the French Revolution beginning in 1789 to the liberal revolution in 1830 and particularly the democratic revolution of 1848 in France and asks how these events were perceived and explained. Informed by the collective memory of the first revolution how did the Church react to renewed catastrophe ? How did it seek to influence political choice? Why did authoritarian government prove to be so attractive? This is a study of the impact of religion on political behaviour as well as of the politicisation of religion. Roger Price employs the methodology of the social and cultural historian to explain the development and interaction of two key institutions Church and State during a period of political and social upheaval. Drawing on a wide range of archival and printed primary sources as well as secondary literature this book analyses the diverse perceptions of people with power and the impact of their decisions and the responses of a wide range of individuals and communities.
