The concordat between Napoleon and Pope Pius VII
(A) gave the clergy the option to declare their loyalty to the state.
(B) satisfied the pope’s wishes for post-war France.
(C) established the dominance of the Catholic Church in France.
(D) required Rome to pay the salaries of the bishops.
(E) stated that Catholicism was the religion of the majority of French citizens.
Answer:
(E) stated that Catholicism was the religion of the majority of French citizens.
The concordat merely stated that most French citizens were Catholic. It did not satisfy the pope, and it did not establish the dominance of Catholicism in France. Napoleon benefited the most from the signing of the concordat.
