In 1673, Louis XIV made claim for a material extension of the rights of the Crown over the appointments in the French dioceses and for the control of the property of the French Church. This declaration of the King brought about a sharp conflict with Innocent XI, which continued until 1682. In that year, a statement of principles arrived at by the Gallican Church and presented in four articles brought the earlier issue to a close. As a result of this first contest, one or two French publications came into the Index. Among these was a treatise by the Jesuit Rapin (published anonymously), prohibited in 1680. As late as 1710, was prohibited, by a brief of Clement XI, a volume by Andoul on the matter of the Regalia rights. This papal brief the Parliament of Paris refused to confirm and, in 1712, the Inquisition therefore condemned the declaration that had been issued by the Parliament. A similar course of condemnations had taken shape in 1680, in which year a previous letter or enactment of the Parliament had been in like manner condemned by the Inquisition of Rome. In 1682, the assembly of the French clergy presented a conclusion in support of the contention of the Crown in regard to the Regalia rights, which conclusion was expressed in the following declaration: I. To the pope has been given by God no authority over civil matters of State. In these matters, kings and princes are subject to no ecclesiastical authority, and they cannot either directly or indirectly be brought under the control of the Church, nor can their subjects be freed through any ecclesiastical intervention from the loyalty and obedience due from them to their civil rulers. II. The pope possesses full control in spiritual affairs, as specified in the conclusions arrived at during the fourth and fifth sessions of the Council of Constance. The Church of France takes the ground that these conclusions arrived at in the council did not apply only to the time of the schism but remained of binding authority. III. The Apostolic authority is always to be exercised subject to the restrictions of the canon law; and as far as France is concerned, the laws of the monarchy and the old customs and regulations of the French Church are not to be interfered with. IV. It is the case that in matters of faith, the decision of the pope retains a controlling influence and his decrees are rightly to be issued to all the churches of the world. The papal judgment is, however, not to be held as infallible, final, or not open to modification unless and until it has secured the assent of the Church universal, such assent as is expressed through the conclusions of the general council.
