Jumble - Houston Chronicle

Oddly.
Fault.
Invest.
Island.

Napoleon oddly tried to invest in the Catholic faith by coming into an agreement with the Pope about the Catholic Church in France. It would no longer be an island of Enlightenment ideas which put the Church at odds with the State. Many find fault with this policy of Bonaparte when contrasted with his support of the Jews. He wanted the Jewish to assimilate through joining his army. He wanted the prestige of the Popes to help his recruitments for his military forces. He saw this as a wise investment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleo...atholic_Church
