How did secularo-fascists robbed the Church
"The
fourth major reform of the National Assembly was the Civil
Constitution of the Clergy. This had nothing to do with the doctrinal
matters but concentrated on the reorganization of the episcopal
structure and the status of the clergymen as civilians. Since the
National Assembly had taken over the church lands and issued bonds,
certificates, and paper money (_assignats_) with those lands as
security, it now assumed the obligation of clergymen's salaries. In
return, the Civil Constitution required that the clergy be elected and
that they take an oath of loyalty "to be faithful to the nation, to the
law, and to the King, and to maintain with all [their] power the
Constitution decreed by the National Assembly and accepted by the King
[2]." [2] Garraty, John A. and Peter Gay, ed. _The Columbia History of
the World_. New York: Harper and Row, Publishers, 1981. pg. 767.
