Résumé anglais The Opposition between Administration and Clergy : The Prefecture and the See in Lozère During the 19th century and at the start of the 20th, the Catholic area of Lozère department (France) was locked in a long, emotional conflict that opposed the see and clergy to the administration represented by prefects and civil servants. The administration used its services and wisely distributed favors as well as subsidies in order to influence voters whereas the clergy, ever watchful, would, as elections drew near, urge parishioners to support Catholic candidates. Freemasons and Protestant primary school teachers were denounced. After the situation had worsened following the separation of Church from State and the 1906 Inventory Act, the government's candidates repeatedly failed to win in Haute-Lozère. This longstanding opposition reveals how local society reacted to increasing administrative power.
