Haircuts Put On Your Head
October 22, 1791: Priests do not disturb the States when we do 's occupies the point of them ... (Andre Chenier)
It is not ours not expose here all the religious events that go between the Constitution of 1790 and Decree of 27 November 1793. With them, we are in the period of insurgency.
And, as if they form a tight, if the legislative acts to which they give birth appear to flow slightly from each other is that all the fuss he was a leading political : denunciation of legislative error of 1789, the Civil Constitution of clergy.
And if, by force of things, we came to abandon the Church, is that legislators acquired experience that all measures can be taken against rebel clergy would be insufficient to maintain order and respect for the secular state.
September 18, 1794, the Convention by financial measure, proposed by Cambon, voted a project, which first posited that the French would no longer pay the fees or salaries of any religion.

This principle, Cambon formally says, was " in all hearts." It was not dictated solely by a financial state of affairs, it followed the lessons of experience. "Proclaim a religious principle," said Cambon now it will take the temples, to be guarded by people who would argue the ministers, they require treatment or income. If they succeed in their first application, they will raise new claims soon, and soon, they establish hierarchies and privileges . "
could not be better to show the danger posed to the state union with the Church.
But we said, this is not a conventional coup of 1794 that came to possess a conscience as clear best interests of both parties.
From 1790 to 1794, the stage was long, arduous, bloody several times, the final solution did not fail to be made, and made even desired.
First is the severance of diplomatic relations with the Vatican, when Pope, providing for the annexation of Avignon, refused to receive our ambassador, M. de Segur.

soon as the news became known in Paris, May 30, 1791, the Nuncio was informed to have to leave soon France. Then nothing could stop the violence against the constitution of ecclesiastical calendar and many priests sworn, yielding to their tendency ultramontane raped all the requirements of the law at will to make it non-existent.
They soon reach their goal, the Constitution, which gave birth to a new clergy now in revolt, was nothing else, at the end of 1791, a dead weight, while a legislative monument front, without virtue, without penalty, on whose behalf he had shed blood, since the Church, wearing his blows against the Constitution, was in the heart of the nation.
It is therefore natural that, even then, good minds have thought politics for the Assembly to destroy itself his work.
Andre Chenier, in a letter to Monitor, October 22, saying that priests will no longer be dangerous on the day the nation will lose interest of religion:
" priests do not disturb the States when it occupies no point them. "
Extract from the Report is March 4, 1905 on behalf of the Committee on Separation of Church and State and denunciation of the Concordat to review the bill and the various proposals law on the separation of church and the state, by Aristide Briand
