jul 12, 1790 - Civil Constitution of the Clergy
Description:
A document released by the National Assembly that completely transformed the Catholic Church in France by taking away a lot of the church's power. The clergy from now on would be elected by the people and paid by the state. This was a major mistake of the assembly, making relations between the French church and state very bitter
