Description
Summary:This year marks the 200th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s death. Much has been said about his life in recent months. Many areas of his political activity and his private life have been explored. These reflections prompt us to deal with one of the least known and studied aspects, especially by lay historians, of Napoleon’s strategy, that is, his religious policy, and in particular his “concordat strategy.” His strategy seems to belong, at least on the level of historical experience, to the society of the ancient regime – with regard to the Catholic Church, which at that time was “legally” suppressed in France. Before dealing with this delicate and intricate matter, let us ask ourselves what Napoleon’s relationship with Christianity was, who was after all born and raised in Corsica in the Catholic faith.
