Question

What has Louis XIV done religiously?

Answer 1

The Château de Versails was an architectural and religeously designed by King Louis XIV, That to include his people religeous baking of a footlong french bread...

Answer 2

Louis XIV himself supported a plan to promoted the persecution of the Protestants. He believed, along with the rest of Europe, Catholic or Protestant, that, in order to achieve national unity, he had to first achieve a religiously unified nation—specifically a Catholic one in his case. This was enshrined in the principle of "Cuius regio, eius religio", which defined religious policy throughout Europe since its establishment, by the Peace of Augsburg, in 1555.

He had already begun the persecution of the Huguenots by quartering soldiers in their homes, though it was theoretically within his feudal rights, and hence legal, to do so with any of his subjects. Louis continued his attempt to achieve a religiously united France by issuing an Edict in March 1685.

The Edict affected the French colonies, and expelled all Jews from them. The public practice of any religion except Roman Catholicism became prohibited. In October 1685, Louis XIV issued the Edict of Fontainebleau, revoking that of Nantes, on the pretext that the near-extinction of Protestantism and Protestants in France made any edict granting them privileges redundant.

The new edict banished from the realm any Protestant minister who refused to convert to Roman Catholicism. Protestant schools and institutions were banned. Children born into Protestant families were to be forcibly baptised by Roman Catholic priests, and Protestant places of worship were demolished. The Edict precluded individuals from publicly practising or exercising the religion, but not from merely believing in it. The Edict provided "liberty is granted to the said persons of the Pretended Reformed Religion on condition of not engaging in the exercise of the said religion, or of meeting under pretext of prayers or religious services."

Answer 3

I should know this, as I learned this 2 months ago in AP Euro.  

Actually, from memory, I recall that he did very little in the realm of religion.

Answer 4

Louis XIV was always a Catholic, and opposed the French Huguenots (Protestants) throughout his reign.  His second great mistress, Madame Scarron, and later Madame de Maintenon was a devout Catholic.  Essentially, he stemmed the tide of reformation in France.
