Napoleon did not fully return church lands to the pope and clergy after the French Revolution. Instead, he established the Concordat of 1801, which recognized Catholicism as the religion of the majority while maintaining state control over church appointments and property. Although some church lands were returned, many remained in state hands, and the Catholic Church's power was significantly curtailed under Napoleon's regime.

How did napoleon bring religious order to France?

Napoleon, himself, was not religious, although some claim he was Catholic due to the Concordat that he signed with the Roman Catholic Church in order to maintain peace with Rome following the French Revolution (1789-1799) where he confiscated the church lands and assumed control over the appointment of bishops. Although he never gave the property back, he did however, make France officially a Catholic nation. Ultimately, he exercised the long-lived idea of religious tolerance, which was a fundamental cause during this era of "enlightened despotism". Hope this answers your question!


What caused conflicts between national monarchies and the catholic church during the middle ages?

1st Answer:They didn't and they worked pretty much hand in hand. It wasn't until the late 1300's and the 1400's that there was any problems. If you are thinking of Henry VIII, he isn't in the middle ages. He was much later.2nd Answer:There were many clashes between religious authorities and political rulers during the Middle Ages, including the Investiture Controversy in the 11th and 12th centuries, the events surrounding the Great Schism of the West in the 14th and 15th centuries, the events surrounding the death of Thomas Becket in 1190, and a number of others. They started early on, under the Roman Empire, in fact, and never really disappeared.These problems were all about power. The kings and emperors wanted to be able to appoint bishops who would do their bidding; the bishops and popes wanted to keep monarchs out of Church business. The clergy had rights the Church wanted to protect, such as the benefits of clergy, which meant that clergy who got into trouble with the law were tried by the Church instead of the state; the kings wanted the Church out of their business. The kings were limited in their taxation because the Church controlled a large amount of wealth, but was exempt from taxation in many places; the Church wanted to stay tax free. There were a number of other issues, but it all boiled down to a question of power, keeping power, or gaining power.There are links below.

Why did Napoleon Bonaparte sign a concordat?

His fight with the Catholic Church was seen by the more devout rural French as a spiteful and mean spitited action (Which it was). By granting limited privileges to the church, he gained great friends in high places and the love of his people. It cost him nothing. He never returned the lands of the church. He offered no apology in the Name of France for the desecration of Cathedrals, theft of any religious icons or for the death and injury sustained by the clergy. For the Church it gained its status as the Church of the French. For Napoleon, it was a win-win bargain.


What did Napolean Bonaparte and the Pope agree on?

The establishment of peace with the Catholic Church was one of the first things that Napoleon straightened out after rising to power. Though Napoleon had no personal religious faith, he recognized the importance of acknowledging religions in order to maintain his power. In 1801 he made an agreement with the pope recognizing Catholicism as the religion of majority in France at that time. In return the pope agreed not to ask for the return of the church lands seized in the revolution.


What was the Religious aspect of the French Revolution?

The French Revolution was unfriendly toward the Catholic Church. It was in fact punitive in almost every manner. The state confiscated lands, monasteries, convents, schools, churches and anything that could be converted to cash. It exiled thousands of clergy, it imprisoned thousands of clergy and it killed thousands of clergy. France did not reconcile with the Catholic Church until the Concordat between Napoleon and the Pope in 1801.

What best describes the relationship between the Church and feudal states?

The relationship between the Church and feudal states was characterized by mutual dependence and influence. The Church provided spiritual legitimacy to rulers, reinforcing their authority and social order, while feudal lords offered protection and land to the clergy in return. This alliance often led to conflicts over power and influence, particularly regarding appointments and control of lands. Ultimately, the Church played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of medieval Europe, intertwining religious and secular authority.
