The Catholic Church lose power during the French Revolution. Instead of the Catholic Church, a new creation was introduced... The Cult of the Supreme Being.

However, after the Revolution ended, the Catholic Church regained much of its former power. This was, in part, due to the fact that many of the "common" people in France were firm followers in the Church, even throughout the Revolution, and after it, when the Church was re-named as the state "religion," they went happily back into their old way of life, with the Catholic Church.Nova Net: The Catholic Church was separated from governmentIt was greatly changed because of the confiscation of huge properties owned by the church, the expulsion of monks and nuns and the imprisonment and death of hundreds of priests.
