"Costituzione civile del clero"

This procedure concerns the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, a historical law enacted during the French Revolution. It aimed to reorganize the Catholic Church in France, making clergy elected officials and requiring them to swear an oath of loyalty to the state. The law significantly altered the relationship between the Church and the state, leading to widespread division within France and condemnation from the Pope. It affected clergy, religious orders, and the faithful across the nation.
