Secular clergy are ordained ministers who are not bound by a religious order and typically serve in a specific geographic location such as a parish. Religious clergy belong to a specific religious order or congregation and may live in a community setting with other clergy members. They often take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in addition to their ordination vows.

The Catholic Church, particularly its clergy, opposed the French Revolution due to the significant religious suppression it faced, including the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which placed the church under state control. Many clergy members and devout Catholics viewed the Revolution as a direct attack on their faith and traditions, leading to widespread resistance. Additionally, conservative factions within France, including royalists and supporters of the ancien régime, also opposed the Revolution for similar reasons tied to the preservation of religious and social order.
The First Estate of the French social order was comprised of priests of the Roman Catholic Church.
