In these it was stated that it was not allowable for any one to receive the sacraments from the hands of the constitutional priests, who were designated as intruders; that all who participated in them became guilty, by their mere presence, of mortal sin; that those who were married by the intruder should not be regarded as married; that they would draw down a curse upon themselves and their children

agree Christopher Crockett : It looks like this is a somewhat technical term and the "Civil Constitution of the Clergy" leads to "constitutional priests/clergy", as your wnec.edu site suggest. I'd go with "constitutional" rather than "intruder".

jurors

Well, Ive just found an article on the revolution in The Vendee where apparently the entire priesthood refused to sign the constitution of the clergy. In this article the term 'jurors ' is used for intrudors:
The Civil Constitution required all clerics to swear allegiance to it and by extension to the increasingly anti-clerical National Constituent Assembly. The Vendean clergy almost universally refused to swear the oath and were replaced by clergy appointed and approved by the Revolutionary authorities, known as jurors, who were almost universally disliked - condemned as intruders.....

I've been thinking about this all day!!! It cant really be jurors unless I suppose it could be justified by one of its meanings-'someone who takes an oath' but that misses the point so I'm going to agree with suezen!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Bourth (X) : It's badly written, I think, and "jurors" refers to "Revolutionary authorities"
