France was in debt due to costly military engagements, including the American Revolutionary War, and extravagant spending by the monarchy, particularly under King Louis XVI and his predecessors.

Catholic AnswerThe secular clergy are all those clergy who are under a diocesian Bishop instead of a religious Order (the later being religious clergy).

In most cases, this is being a priest serving in a parish, although there are, of course, secular clergy, serving in diocesian offices, teaching in schools, and any other job that their Bishop might have for them.from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Secular clergy. Clergy who are engaged for the most part in pastoral work and who are not members of a religious institute. They are not bound by a vow of poverty or community life. But their celibacy, in the Latin Church, is under solemn oath and they promise obedience to a bishop as their immediate superior under the Pope.
