=30. The French Concordat of 1801.=--In August, 1801, a Bull of Pius VII records the provisions of the Concordat that had been arrived at between Napoleon and himself. Under the Concordat, the number of the French bishoprics was reduced from a hundred and fifty-six to sixty and a new division of the dioceses was provided for. In a brief bearing the same date, the Pope calls for the resignation of all the French bishops, and in November of 1801, he issues a second Bull, declaring those bishops who had not resigned to be deposed, and fixing the limits of the new bishoprics. In 1803, thirty-six bishops present a protest against these regulations. This protest was widely circulated and served as the text for a long series of monographs in which were brought into discussion various questions relating to the Concordat. In 1817, a second Concordat was put into force between the Papacy and Louis XVIII. In 1822, a long series of writings which took ground against the authority of this Concordat were placed upon the Index. =31. Protestant Theological Writings, 1750–1884.=--The selections for condemnation, in the last years of the 18th century and during the first half of the 19th century, of works by Protestant theologians appears to have been made with no greater consistency and with no more assured principles than had been apparent in the selection of Protestant writings of an earlier date. The following titles may be noted: Michaelis, J. D., _Introduction to the New Testament_, published in 1750, condemned in 1827. Strauss, _The Life of Jesus_ (_Das Leben Jesu_), published in 1835, prohibited 1838. Bauer, _Streit der Kritik mit Kirche und Staat_, published in 1844, prohibited in 1845. Bunsen, _Hippolytus and his Age_, published 1852, prohibited 1854. Maurice, F. D., _Theological Essays_, published 1854, prohibited 1854 (the entry in the Index is under the word “Denison”). Stroud, _The Physical Causes of the Death of Christ_, published 1847, prohibited 1878. Morgan, Lady, _Italy_, prohibited 1822. Waldie, _Rome in the Nineteenth Century_, published 1820, prohibited 1826. Blunt, James, _Vestiges of Ancient Manners and Customs in Modern Italy and Sicily_, published 1823, prohibited 1827. The difficulty with Mr. Blunt’s treatise was the connection made by him between certain ceremonies and practices of the Roman Church and the earlier Pagan usages. Seymour, Hobart, _A Pilgrimage to Rome_, printed 1851, prohibited 1851. The title is entered under “Pilgrimage.” Whately, Archbishop, _Introductory Lessons on Christian Evidences_, an Italian version printed in 1850 and prohibited in the same year. The treatise by John Poynde, _Popery in Alliance with Heathenism_, the publication of which (in 1835) brought out some sharp controversial letters from Wiseman, escaped the attention of the Index compilers. The more noteworthy of the French titles in the Indexes of this period are the following:
