The clergy supported the revolution primarily because it promised to promote ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, which resonated with Enlightenment values. Many clergy members were disillusioned with the privileges of the aristocracy and the rigid structures of the Ancien Régime, seeking a more equitable society. Additionally, the revolution aimed to reduce the power of the Catholic Church by limiting its influence in government, which led some clergy to view the revolution as an opportunity for reform within the church itself. Ultimately, the clergy's support was driven by a combination of personal beliefs and the desire for systemic change.
