\"ExtraictFrance was the last Roman Catholic country in Europe to accept the reforms of the Council of Trent.\u00a0 This long delay can be attributed to several factors.\u00a0 In the second half of the sixteenth century the kingdom was wracked by decades of religious and political civil wars which only ended with the edict of Nantes and the accession and conversion of Henry IV.\u00a0 The new Bourbon monarch wanted to re-establish France as a pre-eminent continental power and realized that rebuilding the French kingdom also meant rebuilding and reforming the French Church.<\/p>\n

Even during the sessions of the Council from 1546 to 1564 the French kings and Church had been very reserved in their reaction to the council and its activities. This was founded on their suspicions that the implementation of the reforms could result in a diminishment of the traditional “liberties” and independence of the Gallican Church as enshrined in the Concordat of Bologna of 1516.<\/p>\n

The French devo<\/em>ts<\/em>, long dedicated to the reform and revitalization of the French Church were eager to move forward.\u00a0 In the first years of the regency of Marie de Medici the monarchy and the French Church finally accepted the Tridentine reforms. However, they did so with the condition that these reforms would in no way be allowed to impinge on any of the traditional Gallican liberties and independence enjoyed by France.<\/p>\n

This volume printed, by the royal press, clearly sets out those provisions of the Tridentine decrees which France found unacceptable.\u00a0 This compromise unleashed the pent-up reform forces within the kingdom, and was acceptable to the papacy.\u00a0 It was also very successful.<\/p>\n

Vincent de Paul’s activities as a Tridentine-reformer took place within this system of Gallican reservation.<\/p>\n
