""France and the Establishment of the American Catholic Hierarchy: The Myth of French Interference 1783-1784"" is a historical study by Jules A. Baisnee that examines the role of France in the establishment of the Catholic Church hierarchy in the United States in the late 18th century. The book challenges the commonly held belief that France played a significant role in the establishment of the hierarchy, arguing instead that the American Catholic Church was largely independent in its decision-making process. Baisnee draws on a range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official documents, to provide a detailed account of the events leading up to the establishment of the hierarchy, as well as the key players involved. The book sheds light on the complex relationship between France and the United States during this period, and offers a nuanced understanding of the role of religion in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
