Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis of Napoleon's efforts to centralize control over the social institutions of France. The author traces Napoleon's motivations for absorbing the Church into the state, examining the complex relationship between spiritual and temporal authority in both France and other European countries. He explores the ways in which Napoleon used both temporal and spiritual authority to assert his dominance, including the appointment of bishops and the coronation of Napoleon at Notre Dame. The book also discusses the effects of Napoleon's system on the French clergy, with a particular focus on the role of the regular clergy and the subordination of the lesser clergy to episcopal authority. Overall, this book provides a nuanced understanding of Napoleon's policies towards religious institutions and their profound impact on French society.
