Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a cohesive analysis of the relationship between national identity and religious belief in 19th-century France, with a specific focus on the ongoing tension between the secular spirit of liberalism and the rigid structure of the Catholic Church. The author traces the substantial shift in French Catholicism toward Papal supremacy and theocracy, placing this within the context of the increasing liberalism and secularization of society. As the influence of the Catholic Church grew throughout society, conflict arose with the liberal and secular ideals that the author argues were central to French national identity. This led to a series of intense political struggles, further fracturing the populace along religious and political lines. By presenting a detailed examination of the historical and religious landscape of the time, the author provides an insightful exploration of the role of religion in shaping the complex national identity of France during a tumultuous period of its history.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Papacy under Pius IX. The author draws on historical events and papal writings to explore how the Pope's actions led to a decline in the influence and prestige of the Catholic Church. The author argues that Pius IX's early support for Italian liberalism and his subsequent resistance to Italian unity alienated Catholics and led to a loss of temporal power. The author further examines Pius IX's proclamation of the dogma of papal infallibility, which strained relations with the faithful and bolstered internal divisions. This book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between the Papacy and the forces of modernity, and the consequences of Pius IX's reign for the future of the Catholic Church.
