Jureur information


A commemorative plate featuring a juring priest.

During the French Revolution, Catholic clergy in France who agreed to swear an oath to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy were called prêtres jureurs (English: "juring priests"). They were regarded as traitors to the faith by many Catholics, including the pope and Queen Marie Antoinette—who famously refused to confess to a juring priest while on the gallows for her execution, thinking it would be an invalid sacrament.
