Napoleon negotiated a deal with the new Pope called the Concordat of 1801 to reestablish the Catholic Church in France after the French Revolution. The Concordat made Catholicism the main religion but not the official state religion, allowed the government to nominate bishops but gave the Pope final approval, and granted equal rights to Catholics and Protestants. The deal undermined royalists, united the clergy behind Napoleon, and consolidated his power while removing opponents, but many revolutionaries still disliked the Church.
