A potential source of opposition to Napoleon was the Church.
Napoleon knew very well the deep conservatism of the French peasants in religious matters and strove to harness this sentiment to his advantage, seeking a reconciliation with the Pope. He once said "the people must have a religion and the same must be in the hands of the government".
This was probably the boldest decision of his entire life, and in a certain verse was one of the heaviest blow inflicted to the Republican rule.
Napoleon was able to overcome the harsh opposition of the Republican members of the government and of the military establishment, acting practically alone, with almost no help. The Treaty was signed in 1801, but Napoleon dared to publish to relevant articles only after a year and even then the matter required a lot of courage and decision.
The advantages, though, widely compensated the risks as, in one shot the First Consul had shattered the most effective weapon of the royalist Propaganda, because from that moment on, the Bourbon could no more claim of being to only defenders of the Christian traditions in France. At the same time helped to pacify the Vendée and improved the relations with Belgium and Italy, which were Catholic country.

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!
