在旧制度时期，“笃信基督教的国王”之法国与圣座结成了紧密的联系。法国大革命及随后的事件在两大权力之间确立了一种完全不同的关系。法国与圣座关系专家马丁·杜蒙（Martin Dumont）对这一充满挑战的对话进行了反思，正是这种对话塑造了天主教与法兰西民族的历史。
Under the Ancien Régime, the France of the "very Christian kings" forged close ties with the Holy See. The French Revolution and the events that followed established a completely different kind of relationship between these two powers. Martin Dumont, an expert on relations between France and the Holy See, reflects on this challenging dialogue, which shaped the history of both Catholicism and the French nation.

In reality, while the monarchy under the Ancien Régime would later celebrate this act, it was actually a fairly unremarkable event at the time of Clovis. You have 93.03% of this article left to read.
