Fr. Pielorz tells us about Eugene\u2019s responsibility in the Seminary as a result of Napoleon\u2019s actions:<\/p>\n
Father \u00c9mery, a fearless defender of the Pope against the encroachments of the emperor, set the tone for the seminary.

The directors were forced to leave the seminary before the end of 1811. As a result, the seminary became the diocesan seminary of Paris.<\/p>\n
