Owen Chadwick describes the effects of the European Revolution of
1789 to 1815 on the Papacy, and compares Catholic Church of the
ancient regime to that of the early nineteenth century. The book
shows how strongly the Counter-Reformation still worked in Italy
during the eighteenth century; how it was the constitutional
development of states, rather than the incoming of new ideas, which
forced change; how traditional was the Catholic world even in the
age of the Enlightenment. It shows reform at work, and the fierce
pressure on the Papacy marked first in the forced suppression of
the Jesuits and afterwards in the kidnapping of two successive
Popes by French governments. It shows how revolution in Italy
affected church structures and brought on peasant war, yet
encouraged, in a radical form, some improvements of church life
towards which the earlier reformers had striven. Finally, it shows
the political swing of the Restoration after the fall of Napoleon,
the way in which the Church was already associated with the
political right, the great difficulties of restoring church life
after the evolutionary years, and the persistence, half unnoticed,
of the earlier reforming ideas among Catholics.
