What significant event took place during the great fear that was a big turning event for religion in France?

During the Great Fear of 1789, a wave of panic and unrest swept through rural France, leading to widespread violence and the destruction of feudal property. This turmoil significantly weakened the Catholic Church's influence as peasants targeted church lands and institutions, viewing them as symbols of aristocratic oppression. The events contributed to the secularization of France, culminating in the Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1790, which subordinated the Church to the state and led to a schism within French Catholicism.
