How did Pope Pius VI respond to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy?

Pope Pius VI responded to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy by formally condemning the document and the French Revolution on March 10, 1791.12

While the Pope took no immediate action when the legislation was first passed in 1790, his stance hardened after the French government demanded that the clergy take an oath of fidelity to the new regime. By condemning the Civil Constitution, Pius VI rejected the state's attempt to reorganize the Roman Catholic Church in France on a national basis and its efforts to restrict papal jurisdiction solely to doctrinal matters.213

This condemnation deepened the schism within the French Church, dividing it between "jurors" (constitutional priests who took the oath) and "nonjurors" (refractory priests who remained loyal to the papacy). The conflict eventually escalated into a broader confrontation between the papacy and Revolutionary France, leading to the French occupation of Rome and the eventual imprisonment of Pius VI.132
