Why napoleon would want to make peace with the catholic church?

Napoleon sought to make peace with the Catholic Church to stabilize his regime and gain legitimacy for his rule in France, where Catholicism was a significant part of society. By reconciling with the Church through the Concordat of 1801, he aimed to consolidate power, encourage national unity, and reduce the influence of revolutionary factions. Additionally, restoring relations with the Church helped to pacify the largely Catholic population and ensured the support of clergy, which was crucial for maintaining social order and promoting his policies.


How did napoleon bring religious order to France?

Napoleon, himself, was not religious, although some claim he was Catholic due to the Concordat that he signed with the Roman Catholic Church in order to maintain peace with Rome following the French Revolution (1789-1799) where he confiscated the church lands and assumed control over the appointment of bishops. Although he never gave the property back, he did however, make France officially a Catholic nation. Ultimately, he exercised the long-lived idea of religious tolerance, which was a fundamental cause during this era of "enlightened despotism". Hope this answers your question!

May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?

Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.

Can your baby be considered catholic if baptized in a Methodist church?

I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church. However you need to talk to the parish priest in the Catholic Church and they'll guide you with more information as to make your baby a Roman Catholic.
