The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. As such, the Church, following Christ, offers salvation to every individual person on the face of the earth, but it is up to each individual to respond to that invitation individually - nothing, ever, is forced. The Church 1) never deals with nations, such as France, as a whole unit, only with individuals within each nation, and 2) the Church never forces anyone to do anything, it only offers salvation, and shows the way to accomplish that. If people reject Christ and His Church, then that is their business. The Church never had a "hold" on France, except insofar as all the people in France were Christians, when they ceased to be Christians, the nation, as a whole, ceased to be Christian.
