The book examines the Roman Catholic Church's response to revolutions in France from 1789 to 1870, highlighting its efforts to maintain faith amidst socio-economic changes. It portrays the Church as an institution striving for (re)Christianization and combating moral decay by creating a 'counter society.' The analysis includes the crisis faced by the Church, the roles of bishops and clergy, internal structures, and the evolution of its doctrines. It also assesses pastoral care and the moral leadership of the clergy, culminating in the reception of its religious messages.
