A religious man is a depraved animal;. "12 By intrigue, Clootz was able to get himself made a Representative of the Nation, and became a major influence in getting the government to sanction the antireligious movement.

The King had already planned to tear down the ancient prison, but this was something his enemies could not afford him the honor of doing.
