The Catholic Church had no influence on the revolution in France outside of the Sisters of Charity, whom they allowed to survive because they were the only nurses they had. The rest of the priests, nuns, and sisters were guillotined by the hundreds, Churches were desecrated, priceless relics destroyed, and the people left with no spiritual guidance.
Many were sacked and looted. Some were converted into warehouses and markets.
They confiscated all of the Catholic Church property and sold it to help ease the French debt.

After the French Revolution, the Catholic Church was served by various clergy and bishops who navigated the challenges of a changing political landscape. Many clergy were forced to adapt to new laws and secular governments, while some, like Pope Pius VII, sought to restore the Church's authority and influence. The Concordat of 1801 between the Church and the French government helped to re-establish some stability, allowing the Church to regain a foothold in France and re-engage with its followers. This period saw a blend of conflict and collaboration between the Church and the state as they sought to redefine their roles in society.
