Histoire De France 1758-1789, Volume 19

qui écrit ceci, ce n'est pas, comme aux assemblées de cet ordre, l'épiscopat, c'est le clergé inférieur, ce sont surtout ces curés dont plusieurs, sous divers rapports, seront révolutionnaires. Mais ils n'en restent pas moins prêtres . On le voit dans certains articles de la visite des prisons dont parlent les autres ordres. M. Chassin remarque très-bien (livre III, ch. II) que le Clergé n'en parle pas. Il se soucie peu d'introduire le magistrat dans les cruelles prisons d'Église, dans ces ténébreux in pace . Le Clergé et la Noblesse s'accordent pour rester juges, pour garder leurs tribunaux ecclésiastiques, leurs tribunaux féodaux, ces justices qu'on peut dire la moelle même de l'iniquité. Ceux où le Clergé jugeait des questions de mariage, le rendait maître de la femme, de l'homme (à son moment faible), de la famille elle-même. [Retour au texte]
