Looking into the french revolution,
the church and nobles were two separate privileged classes in the estates-general.
They voted together to suppress the commoners, the third class
they did not pay taxes.
The national assembly formed by the french commoners in defiance nationalized all church properties and forced taxation.
Civil Constitution of the Clergy required bishops and priests to take an oath of loyalty to the constitution.
Most priest, bishops, and many Catholics turn against the revolution.
Non-juring clergy were arrested.
Seen as a segment of society who wanted to go back to the estates-general way of living.
1793 King Louis beheaded
Revolutionary government attempted to eradicate Catholicism and any form of Christianity.
Replace Christianity with "cult of reason", close churches
Involved torture, imprisonment and death of clergy
Napoleon took control as a dictator and eased the restrictions on the church and exile priests returned.
Concordat of 1801 finalized the agreement between state (now napoleonic dick tater) and church.
Lewis Cass (Payseur), the supposed son of king louis, supposedly fled to America during this time.
Is this a connection between Payseurs and the Church?
The connection commoners tried to overthrow but were undermined by the returning napoleon?
Why was the catholic church so hated by the commoner revolutionaries?
P = C
If P = Payseur
and C = Chair
and Chair = Cathedral = Church
Payseur = Church
The Chair (cathedral, clergy, priests, even pope) serves the master!
If P = Payseur,
then master = Payseur
