Abstract
The representatives of the Holy See and Bonaparte signed the Concordat on July 15, 1801 (26 Messidor an IX). However, before it could become effective the Pope and Bonaparte had to ratify it, and the French Government had to promulgate it for the nation. Nine months were to elapse before the French people officially learned of the accord. The delay and its causes, which will be treated in this chapter, again point up the pressure tactics of the First Consul in his endeavor to manage completely the reestablishment of Church-State relations.
