Description

"Published in 1793, during one of the most turbulent years of the French Revolution, this letter by the Right Reverend Bishop of Léon—Jean-François de La Marche, offers a compelling defense of the Catholic Church and a lament for the religious upheaval sweeping France. Addressed to the faithful, and likely intended for a broader European audience, the letter reflects the perspective of a high-ranking cleric in exile, writing in the wake of the Revolution’s radical reorganization of religious life."
