Louis XIV and Religion Marci Dillon Julia Colon Kerianne Ingram Charlmane Colter Amber Aguilera

Introduction King Louis was an absolute ruler. Absolutism: sovereign power is the ultimate authority and claims divine right. He supported religion, particularly Catholicism. He’s Catholic Thesis: King Louis XIV attempted to unite France under one king, one law, and one faith through absolutism; however, his intentions of advancing France had negative effects.

Main Points He used the religion to increase his power. Catholicism was unified and main religion. Establishment of Versailles: symbol of absolutism and separation of Church and Royal power Edict of Nantes (1685)- Religious toleration of Huguenots. Edict of Fountainbleau (1685)- revokes the Edict of Nantes. Removes religious toleration and destroys Protestant institutions. Hurts economy. Protestants suffered.

Connection Renaissance: Humanism. Extravagance?? Reformation: Church lost some power, new religions emerged Enlightenment: Government power and authority questioned. Religious tolerance (Voltaire). French Revolution: foreshadow. (quote) DEBT ( lack of care for Third Estate).

Conclusion Louis XIV tried to make France powerful yet centralized. He made King and State one and the same. He caused unrest and economic downfall: taxes. To support his wars. His efforts were futile. Economy was hurt: no jobs. Religion was decentralized. The skillful people left: no technological advances.
