- Title
TALLEYRAND AND THE TEMPORAL PROBLEMS OF THE FRENCH CHURCH FROM 1780 TO 1785.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the temporal problems of the French church during 1780-1785. Problems for the French church began more than two hundred years before the French Revolution, when it was threatened with the seizure of its temporal property. While none of these threats actually materialized, the successful one was launched by a Catholic prelate, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, Bishop of Autun, in form of a motion. It was this motion which fathered the sequestration law, whose provisions proclaimed the dissolution of the church's ancient patrimony, its autonomous governing bodies, its fiscal-corporate privileges, and its national-diocesan administration.
