Abstract

[fre] Résumé L'étude d'une vingtaine de procès recensés dans les pays de la Loire moyenne pour la période de la fin du 17e s. et le 18e s. met en évidence un écart notable entre l'esprit des ordonnances et règlements et l'attitude des justiciables et des juges. Trois formes d'impiété apparaissent qui ont une signification et une portée différentes : manifestations d'un anticléricalisme rural ; manifestations de la mutation de la sensibilité religieuse de la bourgeoisie ; expression d'une tradition de corps de certains milieux populaires. Les magistrats font le plus souvent preuve d'indulgence : pour eux le respect de la discipline des comportements à l'égard de la religion est affaire de bienséance sociale surtout après 1760 ou les procès d'impiété deviennent très rares. [eng] Abstract A survey of twenty or so trials registred in the Mid-Loire countries during the late 17th century and the 18th century brings out a notable discrepancy between the spirit of the edicts and rulings and the attitudes of the judges and of those to be tried. Three forms of impiety are to be found which imply differences in their meaning and impacts : manifestations of rural anticlericalism ; manifestations of a change in the religious sensitivity of the bourgeoisie ; expression of an esprit de corps in some of the popular classes. Most of the time the magistrates showed lenient : in their eyes people's disciplined behaviours towards religion were a matter of social etiquette especially after 1760 when the trials for impiety became scarce.
