“If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.” - St. Jean Vianney

May we all repent and find our salvation through God’s mercy!

🙏

You may find our episode on St. Jean Vianney interesting. Fr. Stephen Dominic Hayes in it made the observation: “One of the things that people do not appreciate about the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars was how systematically the Catholic Church was attacked during this entire period. One statistic I saw was that in a period of 20 years, Europe lost 90% of its religious. 9 out of 10 religious within 20 years. We’ve never experienced anything that bad.” www.faithfullpod.com/6-penance-prayers-and-an-incorrupt-heart/

Much was lost and destroyed and ignoring this part of history is only convenient for the enemy so they can repeat it

🙏🙏🙏

No, not a priest, and sorry for any confusion, thanks! I meant it in reference to the Mass as a memorial celebration. Again, sorry for any confusion! “Sunday is the day of Jesus’ resurrection. That is why, since the time of the apostles, Christians have come together on Sundays. They celebrate Holy Mass to meet Jesus: in his words and in Holy Communion” (YOUCAT For Kids, p. 130). becoming.catholic.au/s/article/The-Mass-Eucharist#:~:text=%E2%80%9CSunday%20is%20the%20day%20of,(YOUCAT%20For%20Kids%2C%20p.

@ no that’s ok!!! Thank you so much for responding! I loved the video and just subscribed!

Incredibly kind, thank you. God bless you!!!

All things are in degrees, but based on family who studied in France for modules on the Revolution, I can say the extermination of the Church was not a focus for them. The purging of clergy, the requirement of loyalty oaths, the execution of cloistered nuns…not a top-line fact in our experience. Hopefully this episode was illuminating for those of us who came to the full details later. God bless!

May we pray for the souls of all victims, and for the salvation of us all.

🙏

May God have mercy on their - and our - souls.

We have similar here today in the form of D.E.I. and Critical Race Theory, all Communism.

Sadly, I feel like these numbers are much too low! aleteia.org/2022/07/14/did-the-french-revolution-persecute-catholics

@@FaithFullCatholicPodcast Thanks...and now for the other lighthearted side of me, as best described in the immortal words of St Teresa of Avila, "Deliver me from sullen-faced saints, O Lord!" I'm sure she threw that in on some of her fellow nuns in prayer...just to keep them on their toes! LOL St Paul, "Truly, my fellow brothers and sisters, we may have brought nothing into this world...and yet, brought nothing out of it!" 'Life is a cabaret, ol' chum!' as Liza Minnelli belted out in the film classic, 'Cabaret' Voltaire once said in his search for and in defense of truth in all its marvelous shapes and forms, "Indeed, I'm much fond of truth wherever I encounter it, my friend, but how I dread martyrdom...We may not always be inclined to agree to disagree, but I'm most willing to defend your cause to the death, if need be, in your absolute God-given right to say so!" You can't say Voltaire's education by the Jesuits wasn't all in vain. In the defense of the Carmelites, who suffered hardship and death by radical extremists and vice versa of an ideology of their own making gone berserk, I also think of their other confreres and sori who also had to share the Cup throughout history...and others from other religious orders and laity alike, faiths, ideals, morals and values. Their cries were never left unheard nor shall they be silenced. St Edith Stein, on the day of her arrest by the Gestapo and that of her sister Rosa, a lay helper, comforted her sister, who was obviously anxious and worried. Edith took her quietly by the and said with a smile, "Come along, Rosa, we're going for our people and being in their midst, which has been my answered prayer! Praise God!" A few years earlier, she wrote a friend how, in the cloister, how she contemplated on her fellow Jews and others who had become victims of the Nazis' so-called 'New Order' and while doing so she compared herself to Esther in the Bible, pleading her case before King Ahaserus (Xerxes) at the risk of her own life, the entire Jewish community within his empire, including her uncle Mordechai's life in her hands...And yet, as Esther, Edith knew she had a recourse to pleading her case directly from the top...the King of Kings...of whom, she added, 'is truly a great comfort to me.'

Mt 16:18 “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church,* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” 🙏

Amen! 🙏

So true 💪🙏

You have to ask yourself...who was really behind the french revolution...the same people behind every revolution..including world wars 1and 2...Russian revolution..same people whom we are not allowed to mention..

The age of 18th century, so called, Enlightenment, worshippers of lucifer the light bearer , the fallen angel, the sorce of evil, the seducer of mankind and the homicide from the Beginning. Our weapons: the Holy Rosary and consecration to the Most Sorrowful Heart of Mary, for Her triumph, maranatha Lord Jesus!

@rosemarymccarron3887 Oh believe me...I'll mention them

@@rosemarymccarron3887 Someone is blocking my comments to you.

@@rosemarymccarron3887 I know...old money families into the Occult...their hideous reign is coming to an end.

Thank you so much 🙏

Wonderful news. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Are you surprised ..... we have a woke media forever spouting out anti catholic rhetoric...

The cristeros persécution was influenced by the catholic persecutions during the french revolution like during the wars of Vendée and trust me even now there is an influence of this time in the anti christian feeling (not only catholics) in france

Sadly, I do think the depths of anti-Catholic bigotry have been watered down by time. My public school education focused on the purging of aristocracy but not clergy. Hopefully conversations like this help more of us not forget!

Your public school will Not be teaching the same today ,it probably will be anti catholic rhetoric ...

@@FaithFullCatholicPodcastI agree. As was the Nazi/Holocaust. Many of the religious faith, and clergy were killed as well. Russia, Mexico, and now in so many areas of the globe.. How will today’s persecutions look in the history taught tomorrow.

The 20th century was the greatest persecution of the Church. The Communists in Spain and Cuba, for instances, commuted horrors. I lost two family members for their devotion to the Church in both places.

We don’t attend, we participate. Also, it’s doctrine that all baptized Christians are considered Kingdom priests, as such, obligated to participate in the worship of and sacrifice to God in the Mass.

Grateful for Pope Francis’s equipollent canonization of them last month 🙏 cruxnow.com/news-analysis/2024/12/the-martyrs-of-compiegne-of-french-revolution-are-canonized-after-walking-together

Is that the reason why it took so long to canonize Sts. Thomas More and Jean D' Arc?

May we pray for the victims, and for the salvation of us all 🙏

Wonderful shoutout-thank you! 🙏

Dont forget the Bernanos book which has inspired the opera and the cinema adaptations

Thank you for the lead. I'm going to follow this up

Thank you so much-honored to earn your sub and share the faith! God bless you 🙏

“You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” Luke 21:17-19 🙏

France has been called the “eldest daughter of the Church,” producing numerous saints (Thérèse, Jean Vianney, Vincent de Paul, Jeanne d’Arc, Catherine Labouré, etc), Popes, and faithful Catholics. It’s a complicated history though, much like Spain. You may find this interesting. God bless! crisismagazine.com/opinion/the-eldest-daughter-of-the-church

Some of the greatest Marian theologians are also French, like St. Louis de Monfort. And one the greatest heresy hunting Church Father, and Doctor of the Church St. Irenaeus was Bishop of Lyon and is the reason we know one of the lines of Apostolic succession (St. John taught St. Ignatius bishop of Antioch and St Polycarp bishop of Smyrna, and St. Irenaeus is a student of St Polycarp. Then there's Notre Dame, which is one of the great Cathedrals outside the Vatican.

I too am Cuban but grew up in the US. I went to a truly Catholic university and I did learn a lot about France. Of course I was French major.

The author I spoke with, Jonathan O’Brien, found these parallels striking-when seeing the laicizing of France as part of the larger fight of good vs. evil, it makes me appreciate the sacraments even more! God bless!

But who are these dark forces...these same people who were behind every revolution including world wars 1 and 2...the same race of people whom we cannot mention...Read Fr Denis Fahey's books and he will tell you..

You express yourself well and we totally agree. As you have stated needs emphasis in Catholic education if we are to remain sober as Catholic in the near future. Can our children say they understand the Fremvj Revolution as you explained it?? Imagine how Christendom would be revived if they could know history truly for the ugly ideoloy that stirred it?

Very well said.
