France Was Then A Catholic Country; Catholicism Was The State Religion With No Legal Right For Individuals To Practice Different Faiths. While The Harsh Oppression Of Protestantism Initiated By King Louis Xiv Had Largely Receded Protestants Were At Best Tolerated. Louis One Of Calas's Sons Converted To Catholicism In 1756. On 13-14 October 1761 Another Of The Calas Sons Marc-Antoine Was Found Dead On The Ground Floor Of The Family's Home. Rumors Had It That Jean Calas Had Killed His Son Because He Intended To Convert To Catholicism. When Interrogated The Family Initially Claimed That Marc-Antoine Had Been Killed By A Murderer. Then They Declared That They Had Found Marc-Antoine Dead Hanged; Because Suicide Was Considered A Heinous Crime Against God And Since The Dead Bodies Of Suicides Were Defiled They Had Arranged For Their Son's Suicide To Look Like A Murder.

The King Fired The Chief Magistrate Of Toulouse The Capitoul The Trial Was Done Over And In 1765 Jean Calas Posthumously Was Exonerated On A "Vice De Procédure" Not On The Original Charges With The Family Paid 36000 Livres By The King In Compensation.2 Voltaire An Outspoken Critic Of The Catholic Church Cited The Instance As An Example Of The Church's Severity In His 1763 Work Treatise On Tolerance.
