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.
