The ''Declaration of the clergy of France'' was a four article document of the 1681 Assembly of the French clergy promulgated in 1682 which codified the principles of Gallicanism into a system for the first time in an official and definitive formula. ==Situation== The 1516 Concordat of Bologna between the Holy See and the Kingdom of France repealed and explicitly superseded the 1438 Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges and was confirmed by the contemporaneous Fifth Lateran Council. The concordat was registered by the ''フランス語:Parlements'' in 1518, and defined, according to Roger Aubenas, in ''The New Cambridge Modern History'', "a logical division of prerogatives, but one which involved discontinuance of elections." The election of bishops by canons and abbots by monks was discontinued, under the terms of the concordat, the right of presentation of a candidate for appointment, as a bishop, abbot, or prior, was conceded to the king, and the right of confirmation of a candidate, right of devolution, and the right of reservation, were conceded to the pope. Since he had to present a suitable and qualified candidate, "the king's choice was not to be purely arbitrary." The concordat also stipulated annates and other matters. In 1663 the College of Sorbonne solemnly declared that it admitted no authority of the pope over the king's temporal dominion, nor his superiority to a general council, nor infallibility apart from the Church's consent. In 1673, King Louis XIV of France, an absolute monarch, extended the ''フランス語:droit de régale'' throughout the Kingdom of France. There were two types of ''フランス語:régale'': ''フランス語:régale temporelle'' and ''フランス語:régale spirituelle''. Prior kings of France affirmed the ''フランス語:droit de régale'' as their right by virtue of the supremacy of the Crown over all episcopal sees, even those previously exempt from the assertion of this right. Under Louis XIV, these claims to appropriate revenues of vacant episcopal sees and to make appointments to benefices were vigorously enforced. The ''フランス語:Parlements'' were pleased and most bishops yielded without serious protest; only two prelates, Nicolas Pavillon, bishop of Alet, and François de Caulet, bishop of Pamiers, both Jansenists, resisted against the royal encroachment. Both unsuccessfully appealed to their metropolitan archbishop, who sided with Louis XIV, and they appealed to Pope Innocent XI in 1677. In three successive papal briefs Innocent XI urged Louis XIV not to extend the right to dioceses that had previously been exempt. The pope sustained them with all his authority. Louis XIV convoked the 1681 Assembly at Paris to consider the ''フランス語:droit de régale''. It was presided over by François de Harlay de Champvallon, archbishop of Paris, and Charles Maurice Le Tellier, archbishop of Reims. The question of the ''フランス語:droit de régale'' was quickly decided in favor of the king. Louis XIV then asked them to pronounce upon the authority of the pope and the Assembly again sided with the king. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Declaration of the Clergy of France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
