Publisher's Synopsis
Catholicism And The Second French Republic 1848-1852 is a historical book written by Ross William Collins. The book explores the relationship between the Catholic Church and the French government during the Second French Republic from 1848 to 1852. The book delves into the complex political and religious landscape of France during this period, where the Catholic Church was a powerful force that played a significant role in shaping the country's political and social policies. The author examines the tensions and conflicts that arose between the Church and the Republican government, which was founded on the principles of democracy, liberty, and secularism.Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, including government archives and Church documents, Collins provides a comprehensive account of the Church's response to the Republic's policies, including its stance on issues such as education, freedom of worship, and political participation. The book also explores the impact of the Church's involvement in politics on the wider French society, including the Catholic population, the Republican movement, and other religious groups. Overall, Catholicism And The Second French Republic 1848-1852 offers a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between religion and politics in 19th-century France, and sheds light on the challenges faced by a society struggling to reconcile its traditional values with the demands of modernity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
