Abstract
On May 27, 1804 Napoleon reestablished the Congregation of the Mission in France because of its anticipated usefulness to his religio-political policy. By an official decree the Congregation of the Mission was able to resume its former foreign mission apostolate and with Napoleon’s subsequent verbal approbation its former works within France at a time when both Pope and Emperor were trying to please one another to the benefit of each. By 1809, however, the accord between Napoleon and Pius VII was deteriorating. In like manner, Napoleon’s interest in foreign missions was waning, and the Government’s relations with the Lazarists ran among rocks and shoals until September 26, 1809 when Napoleon suppressed the Congregation of the Mission in France.
