CONVENTION BE,TWEEN THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

AND HIS HOLINESS PIUS VII.

The Government of the Republic recognizes the
Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion, as the
Religion of the great majority of French Citizens.

His Holiness, in the same manner, acknow-
ledges that this Religion receives the most effeaual
advantage from the Establishment of the Catholic
Religion in France, and the particular profession
which the Consuls make of it.

After this mutual acknowledgment, as well for
the good of Religion as the maintenance of internal
Tranquillity, they have agreed on the following ar-
ticles :
ART. I. The Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion,
shall be freely exercised in France. Its worship shall be
public, under such regulations as may seem necessary for the
preservation of public tranquillity.
11. The Holy See, in concert with the Government, shall
make a new division of the French Dioceses.

111. His Holiness shall declare to the Titularies of the
French Bishoprics, that, for the sake of Peace and Unity,
he expects from them all manner of sacrifices, even that of
their Secs.

After that exhortation, if they refuse to make the sacri-
fice demanded of them for the good of the Church, (a refusal
however to which his Holiness shall not pay any attention)
new Titularies shall be appointed to the Bishoprics, in the
following manner :
IV. The First Consul of the Republic shall name, in the
three months which shall follow the publication of his Ho-
liness's Bull, to the Archbishoprics and Bishoprics of the
new Division. His Holiness shall confer the Canonical Or-
dination in the same manner as was done before the change of
Government in France.

V. The nominations to the Bishoprics which shall after-
wards become vacant, shall, in the same manner, be made
by the First Consul ; and the Canonical Ordination shall be
given by the Holy See, in conformity to the preceding Arti-
cle.

VI. The Bishops, before entering on their fun&ions, shall
take, in presence of the First Consul, the Oath of Fidelity,
which was in use before the change of Government, accord-
ing to the following form :
" I swear and promise to God, upon the Holy Gospels,
to preserve obedience and fidelity to the Government esta-
blished by the Constitution of the French Republic. I pro-
mise also to have no intelligence, to assist at no Council, to
enter into no league, without or within, which shall be con-
trary to the Public tranquillity ; and if in my Diocese, or
elsewhere, I learn that any thing is carrying; on to the detri-
ment of the State, I shall inform the Government of it."
VII. The Ecclesiastics of the second order shall take the
same oaths in the hands of the Civil Authorities appointed by
Covernt:tent.
VIII. Th:-: follow ing Formula of Prayer shall be recited at,
the conclusion of Divine Service, in all the Catholic
Churches of France, _ _

Lord save the Republic,
Lord save the Consuls.

currence of the Government.

and a Seminary for their Diocese, without the Government

and others, not alienated, necessary to worship, shall be

XIII. His Holiness, for the sake of the peace and happy re-
establishment of the Catholic Religion, declares, that neither
himself, nor his Successors, will, in any manner, trouble
the Possessors of alienated Ecclesiastical Estates, and that,
in consequence, the property of the same Estates, and the
Rights and Revenues attached to them, shall remain in the
hands of their present Possessors.

XI V. The Government will ensure a suitable Establish-
ment to the Bishops and Curates, whose Dioceses and Cures
are comprized in the new circumscription.

favour• of the Church.
