This independency of the clergy of France upon the court of Rome seems to be principally founded upon the pragmatic sanction and the concordat.

法国神职人员对罗马宫廷的这种独立性似乎主要建立在务实的制裁和协约之上。

Since the establishment of the pragmatic sanction and of the concordat, the clergy of France have in general shewn less respect to the decrees of the papal court, than the clergy of any other catholic country.

自实用主义制裁和协约成立以来，法国的神职人员一般比任何其他天主教国家的神职人员更不尊重教皇法庭的法令。
