How did the government and church authorities try to stop the spread of the enlightenment ideas?
A:At first, Enightenment ideas were tolerated, and even embraced by some progressive clergymen. However, the French Revolution led to some distortions and misuse of Enlightenment ideas, with the intent of de-Christianising France. The result was a reaction that ended the Enlightenment movement as a whole. Society became more conservative and many saw the answer to lie in the legal protection of a single state Church, in the curbing of the press, in the exclusion of social inferiors from the franchise and in the barring of religious dissenters from holding political office. In this new climate, Atheism and anticlericalism could no longer be seen as legitimate topics for learned debate or lighthearted repartee. They were henceforth seen as politically subversive as well as heretical.Catholics throughout the world were urged to seek direct guidance from the Vatican and to support the authority of the Pope against that of individual national bishops. This culminated in the First Vatican Council of 1869-70 declaring papal infallibility to be a tenet of the Catholic faith. The Catholic Church sought to prove the truth of its claims by the recognition and proclamation of new miracles and visions which in pre-Revolutionary times would have been ridiculed as relics of a superstitious past.The Enlightenment was brought to an end with a new wave of fervent piety that provided security to the ruling classes and the Churches. Nevertheless, expectations of tolerance and benevolence that arose with the Enlightenment were not entirely extinguished, and the nineteenth century saw many of the ideas of the Enlightenment bring about legal and political reform.
