  Abstract:  Considerations Regarding Secularisation and Anticlericalism III – Stendhal’s Novel The Red and The Black. Stendhal’s novel The Red and the Black was published at the end of Restoration, as the French call the period after the Congress in Wien and the fall of the last Bourbon (1815-1830). The book represents a portrait of the time, and in the following pages we will try to outline the anticlerical character and elements presented in the novel; Stendhal is not anticlerical per se, he just detaches himself from the Church and regards it with contempt. Stendhal’s books were read by millions of readers and they contributed to the spread of a common idea about the Church: a hypocrite Church, a Church that confuses politics with religion, citizens that use the Church in order to get to powerful positions, to assets and pleasures.
