Reviews

"This book does what few others do: it puts anecdotal and personal flesh over the skeletal history of the Revolution's experiment in reforming the French Catholic Church to suit its ideology. It is also rare in that it is a micro-historical study of a single diocese whose bishop managed not only to survive the whole ordeal but also to keep both his faith and fidelity to the Revolution more or less intact from auspicious beginning to inglorious end. The month-by-month experiential details of the careers of Volfius and his subordinates are priceless in their occasional ups but far more frequent downs." Dale Van Kley, Ohio State University

"Chapman-Adisho is to be complimented for rescuing Volfius and the Constitutional Church in Burgundy from oblivion. This is a meticulously researched study that makes an important contribution to the study of clergy loyal to the French Revolution. One hopes that others will follow in her footsteps [Patriot and Priest] is original, timely and to be welcomed." Journal of Ecclesiastical History

“Chapman-Adisho has made an admirable addition to the historiography of the revolution in the provinces. In particular, she deftly navigates the effect of the massive ecclesiastical reforms of the revolution on the life of one priest in particular and France’s provincial clergy in general.” XVIII.
